Southern Ocean Freshwater Flux Field.
The dataset comprises a derived freshwater flux field for the Southern Ocean. This flux field is the rate of freshwater (m-3s-1) entering each point of a grid covering the Southern Ocean, divided by the surface area (m-2) represented by each grid point, which gives a flux (m s-1) at each grid point....

MATLAB scripts and tables of runoff data are available and show how the field was produced, how the data can be used and how different data can produce the field for a different grid. The field was created to update the accuracy of the freshwater input to a model based on SOSE, and to stabilise it with respect to the formation of open-ocean polynyas.
