| Summary: | <div>SO-GasEx Met/Flux data - <b>Revision 2</b> (See MetFlux Revision 1, v.18 February 2009 for earlier data)</div> <div> </div> <div>The values represent 10 minute means and include interpolated data to fill in data gaps.<br /> There is a period at the end of the cruise with no radiative flux data.<br /> The missing data are flagged with -999.<br /> <br /> In all cases, the fluxes use the convention that positive implies upwards.<br /> The fluxes and wind speeds are computed relative to fixed earth,<br /> i.e., they have not been corrected for currents.</div> <div> </div> <div><b>Updates in Revision 2:</b><br /> - Additional decimal point included for wind speeds and temperatures.</div> <div> </div> <div> - Radiative flux data and improved SST data for transit back to Uruguay now included.</div> <div> </div> <div> - CO2 fluxes are now included using the COAREG algorithm. The algorithm has been tuned to </div> <div> best match the direct covariances fluxes measured duirng GasEx 98 and SO Gasex.</div> <div> </div> <div> - Also included are the delta CO2 measurement provided by NOAA/AOML and the Schmidt number <br /> and solubility provided by the COAREG algorithm. The Schmidt number is used to compute <br /> K660 = wCO2/delCO2*sqrt(ScCO2/660) <br /> <br /> - The solubility is included for those who want to convert delCO2 units to uatm. <br /> </div> <div> <b>Additional Parameters in Revision 2:</b></div> <div> - wCO2 (umol/m2/s): CO2 flux computed from COAREG (umol=micromole) <br /> - delCO2 (mmol/m3): delta CO2 with corrections applied for solubility <br /> - K660 (cm/hr): Transfer velocity for CO2 from COAREG adjusted to Sc=660 <br /> - Solubility (mole/m^3/atm): Solubility of CO2 at sea surface <br /> - ScCO2: Schmidt number of CO2 under ambient conditions <br /> </div>
