Ocean-atmosphere heat, momentum and freshwater flux, climatology, by Josey et al.
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
Simon A. Josey, Elizabeth C. Kent, and Peter K. Taylor compiled the SOC monthly mean flux atlas on a 1 degree by 1 degree grid.
Description
The fields have been derived from the COADS Release 1a (1980-93) dataset enhanced with additional metadata from the WMO47 list of ships. The original version 1.1 atlas was completed in 1998.
Additional work was done on the heat flux components in 2002. The air-sea heat flux was adjusted according to constraints determined from estimates of oceanic heat transport. Through the adjustment process the original imbalance of about 30 W/m^2 was reduced to about 2 W/m^2.

Both the original version 1.1 atlas and the adjusted air-fluxes are available in this dataset.
