Dataset Objective

To provide and compare diurnal averaged global ocean and sea-ice heat fluxes estimates.

Context

The data was created as an improvement of the previous data collection version with this being the revised 4th version: Version 4 revision 4 (V4r4).

What is included

The dataset contains monthly averaged global oceans and sea-ice surface heat fluxes estimates recorded between 1992-2018.
