Description:

This report presents the long-term climatological monthly mean distributions of heat exchange across the air-sea interface based on a summarization of historical surface marine weather observations over the California Current region. This study differs from previous work for this area by calculating monthly mean values on a 1-degree latitude-longitude grid and by computing the heat exchange components from individual surface marine weather reports archived in the National Climatic Data Center’s Tape Data Family-11 (TDF-11). The distributions of heat-exchange components described in this report will provide basic input data for a future simulation model of large-scale variations in the California Current ecosystem.
