Latent Heat Data (J-OFURO)

Japanese Ocean Flux data sets with Use of Remote sensing Observations (J-OFURO) Constructed latent heat flux data using remote sensing observations. Available are 3 days and monthly mean and 1 degree by 1 degree grid data over 9 years (1992-2000). Data variable is latent heat flux (W/m 2 ). Data sources include: DMSP/SSMI, and Reynolds SST. Data sets are availabe online for download in three file formats: standard ASCII, netCDF, and gzip at http://dtsv.scc.u-tokai.ac.jp/j-ofuro/J-OFURO_LHF.html or anonymous FTP: dtsv.scc.u-tokai.ac.jp/PUB/J-OFURO/LHF/3DAYS and dtsv.scc.u-tokai.ac.jp/PUB/J-OFURO/LHF/MON.
