Gather data

OAFLUX data

for sea land mask

tools:

• :ref:`get_oaflux.sh`

  ?

• :func:`oaflux_mask_30n30s`

  ?

ERA-I data

(wind components at 10 m, air temperature at 2 m, dewpoint temperature at 2 m, net SW, net LW)

tools:

• :ref:`compute_erai_daily_region_2d.sh`

  ?

ISCCP shortwave

tools:

• :ref:`get_swr.sh`

  ?

OLR

get NOAA interpolated and uninterpolated OLR data

tools:

• :ref:`get_olr.sh`

  ?

• :ref:`get_olrnint.sh`

  ?

Interpolate datasets onto the OAFLUX grid

tools :

• :func:`interp_erai_dewt`

  ?

• :func:`interp_erai_lwr`

  ?

• :func:`interp_erai_sst`

  ?

• :func:`interp_erai_msl.pro`

  ?

• :func:`interp_erai_t2m`

  ?

• :func:`interp_erai_ws`

  ?

The OLR interpolation also involves combining the delayed time and realtime OLR datasets, which is not done extremely cleanly now.

• :func:`interp_olr_30n30s`

  ?

There's also one additional step to convert ERA-I dewpoint T d_2m into specific humidity q_2m :

• :func:`d2m_to_q2m_erai` (:func:`rh_to_spechum`, :func:`qsat`)

  ???

Result after that, 7 netcdf files for: NOAA OLR, ERA-I T_2m , ERA-I q_2m , ERA-I wind speed, ERA-I SST, ISCCP net SW, ERA-I net LW.

Apply corrections which have been previously estimated from mooring data (see :ref:`generate_statistics`)

There are two steps for the wind correction: the statistical correction from observations, and the gustiness correction.

We apply statistical correction at this stage.

tools :

• :func:`tropflux_swr_dt`, :func:`tropflux_swr_nrt`, :func:`tropflux_swr_blnd`

  ???

• :func:`lwr_correction_ncdf`

  ?

• :func:`q2m_correction_ncdf`

  ?

• :func:`sst_correction_ncdf`

  ?

• :func:`t2m_correction_ncdf`

  ?

• :func:`ws_correction_ncdf`

  ?

Result after that, 7 netcdf files for: NOAA OLR, ERA-I T_a , ERA-I q_a , ERA-I wind speed, ERA-I SST, ISCCP net SW, ERA-I net LW.

Apply the COARE v3 algorithm to compute turbulent fluxes

Wind gustiness correction is applied here.

tools :

• :func:`cronin_gustiness_ncdf`

  ?

• :func:`tropflux` (:func:`cor30a`), :func:`tropflux_nrt_ncdf`

  ???

After that step, there are 5 files: Tropflux T_2m , q_2m , SST, wind, and one file with the 4 components of the net flux (sensible, latent, SWR, LWR)
