简介:精确的海表面流动大小为理解全球水和精力周期是关键的。海洋的蒸发,是全球海洋的新鲜的水流动的一个主要部件,为预言海洋的循环和运输是有用的。全球Goddard基于卫星的表面狂暴的流动Version-2(GSSTF2;1987年7月2000年12月)正式在2001被释放的日期集合被科学界广泛地为全球精力和水周期研究使用了,并且地区性、短的时期数据分析。我们最近被NASA资助了恢复与不断地生产海表面的一致数据集的一个目的处理GSSTF数据集狂暴的流动,源于遥感数据。数据集是是reprocessed并且带新(GSSTF2b)使用改进了象最近升级的NCEP/DOE海表面温度分析那样的输入数据集,并且从传感器微波成像器(SSM/I)由遥感系统(RSS)生产了的专辑的升级的表面风和微波亮度温度V6数据集(版本6)。第二个新产品(GSSTF3)进一步被建议与一更好时间(12-h)并且空间(0.25°×0.25°)分辨率。GSSTF2b(1987年7月2008年12月)和GSSTF3(1999年7月2009年12月)将被2009年末和2011年初分别地为研究社区释放到使用。
