Abstract:
Simon A. Josey, Elizabeth C. Kent, and Peter K. Taylor compiled the SOC monthly mean flux atlas on a 1 degree by 1 degree grid. The fields have been derived from the COADS Release 1a (1980-93) dataset enhanced with additional metadata from the WMO47 list of ships.
The original version 1.1 atlas was completed in 1998. Additional work was done on the heat flux components in 2002. The air-sea heat flux was adjusted according to constraints determined from estimates of oceanic heat transport. Through the adjustment process the original imbalance of about 30 W/m^2 was reduced to about 2 W/m^2.
Both the original version 1.1 atlas and the adjusted air-fluxes are available in this dataset.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in GDEX citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
