    37   * The TropFlux heat and momentum fluxes are estimated from the COARE v3 
    38     algorithm (http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/1520-0442(2003)016%3C0571:BPOASF%3E2.0.CO;2++ lien),  
    39     arguably one of the most suited algorithm for fluxes estimations in the  
    40     tropical regions.  
    41     This algorithm requests surface meteorological parameters (10m-winds,  
    42     2m-air and sea temperature, 2m-air relative humidity) and downward  
     41  * **The TropFlux heat and momentum fluxes are estimated from the COARE v3 
     42    algorithm** (`Fairall et al. 2003 <http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/1520-0442(2003)016%3C0571:BPOASF%3E2.0.CO;2>`_), 
     43    arguably one of the most suited algorithm for fluxes estimations in the 
     44    tropical regions. 
     45    This algorithm requests surface meteorological parameters (10m-winds, 
     46    2m-air and sea temperature, 2m-air relative humidity) and downward 
    4347    radiative (shortwave and infrared fluxes) as input parameters. 
    4448 
    45   * The analysis of various data sources shows that, except for shortwave  
    46     radiation, ERA-I data generally displays the best agreement to the global  
    47     tropical moored buoy array++lien data, despite systematic biases and  
    48     underestimated variability (http://www.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/~tropflux/papers/TropFlux_paper_accepted_r.pdf).  
    49     The ISCCP dataset++lien provides the best shortwave data. 
    50     TropFlux hence uses bias and amplitude corrected ERA-I (10m-winds, 2m-air  
    51     and sea temperature, 2m-air relative humidity and downward radiative  
    52     fluxes) and ISCCP (shortwave radiation) fluxes.

     57    fluxes) and ISCCP (shortwave radiation) fluxes.** 
    5358    All bias corrections are derived on the basis of comparisons with 
    54     the global tropical moored buoy array++lien data, and are described in

    6067  * Since ISCCP shortwave data 
    61     is not updated on a regular basis, we provide an alternative shortwave  
    62     flux estimate that is less accurate, but available until present.  
    63     This estimate uses the ISCCP shortwave climatology plus anomalies that are  
    64     linearly related to NOAA Outgoing Longwave Radiation ++ lien the anomalies with respect to the seasonal cycle.  
    65     Such an estimate is almost as good as ISCCP in deep atmospheric convection  
    66     regions such as the ITCZ or Indo-Pacific warm pool.  
    67     It does not perform as well as ISCCP in regions of low clouds such as the  
    68     eastern equatorial Pacific and Atlantic oceans, but is in any case better  
    69     than most available re-analyses in those regions (http://www.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/~tropflux/papers/TropFlux_paper_accepted_r.pdf++lien).  
    70     The net surface shortwave that is provided in TropFlux data files is based  
    71     on ISCCP data over the entire period for which it is available (July 1983

    39 TropFlux is largely derived from a combination of `ERA-I <http://www.ecmwf.int/research/era/do/get/era-interim>`_ re-analysis data for turbulent and longwave fluxes, and `ISCCP <http://isccp.giss.nasa.gov/>`_ surface radiation data for the shortwave flux. All input products are bias- and amplitude-corrected on the basis of `Global Tropical Moored Array <http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao/global/global.html>`_ data, before surface net heat flux is computed using the `COARE v3 bulk algorithm <http://www.coaps.fsu.edu/COARE/flux_algor/>`_. A precise description of the flux computation procedure, as well as a detailed evaluation against other timely, daily air-sea heat flux alternatives (OAFLUX, NCEP, NCEP2, ERA-I) is provided in `Praveen Kumar et al. (2011) <http://www.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/~tropflux/papers/TropFlux_paper_accepted_r.pdf>`_.

    4171We believe that this product offers the following advantages: 
    4272 
    43  - better variability and less biases than re-analysis fluxes (and equivalent performance to OAFLUX) 
    44  - available until Septempber 2011, and soon updated every month, lagging realtime by ~3 months 
    45  - a simple estimate of surface shortwave radiation is provided from OLR data, as a near-realtime alternative to the more accurate but irregularly updated ISCCP data 
     73 - better variability and less biases than re-analysis fluxes (and equivalent 
     74   or slightly better than the best performing products: 
     75   `OAFLUX <http://oaflux.whoi.edu/>`_ for heat fluxes and 
     76   `ERA-I <http://www.ecmwf.int/research/era/do/get/era-interim>`_ 
     77   for wind stresses) , 
     78 - available until Septempber 2011, and soon updated every month, lagging 
     79   realtime by ~3 months, 
     80 - a simple estimate of surface shortwave radiation is provided from OLR
