We have now released a version 1 of the TropFLux product. In comparison with the version 0 (described in |pkbetal2012|_), this new version has the following differences:

• the availability of ERA-I data over the full 1979 to september 2011 period allowed us to provide v1 for this period (v0 was for 1989-2010)
• v1 now includes estimates for wind stresses, which are described and evaluated in |pkbetal2013|_)
• the retrieval method for radiative fluxes has slightly changed (0-24 hour averages whereas the previous version was based on 24-48h averages from the previous day forecast). This has a very minor impact on the validation statistics and all the validations presented in |pkbetal2012|_ are almost unchanged.
• the value for land points in v0 was causing problem when opening the file under ferret. v1 seems to solve this problem.
