Ocean coupling fields

ATMOS -> OCEAN

  • Mean sea level pressure
  • Wind stress
  • 10m wind
  • Radiation fluxes (sensible heat etc)
  • Sublimation rate
  • Ice fields, e.g. calving, melting & ice mass over Greenland/Antartica
  • Large scale/convective rainfall/snowfall rates
  • River outflow
  • Partial pressure of CO2 (one of ours for Ocean Biogeochemistry)
  • Total dust deposition rate (")

OCEAN -> ATMOS

  • Sea surface temperature
  • Ocean currents
  • Ice fields (a big list)
  • DMS concentration (one of ours from OBGC)
  • CO2 ocean flux (")
