This set of nine CD-ROMs contains raw and objectively analyzed fields of surface marine anomalies of fluxes of heat, momentum, and fresh water along with other parameters of interest. These revised monthly mean fields are derived from individual observations in the Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (COADS Release 1 and an interim release for the 1980s) from January 1945 to December 1989,and are analyzed on a 1-degree by 1-degree global grid. Corrections have been made to reduce wind speed bias associated with an erroneous Beaufort equivalent scale, to quality control night-time fractional cloud cover observations according to the brightness of the sky, to consider weather-associated "sky obscured" cloudiness observations as valid observations of 100% cloud cover, and to correct for erroneously missing "clear" present weather observations after 1981. The data are in Unidata''s NetCDF format. Access subroutines in FORTRAN are included on the CD-ROMs for those unfamiliar with NetCDF. The contents of the individual discs in this set are as follows: Disc 1 - Directly observed quantities and number of observations Disc 2 - Heat, momentum, and fresh water fluxes Disc 3 - Miscellaneous derived quantities Disc 4 - Heat flux sensitivity to sea surface temperatures Disc 5 - Anomalies of observed and surface flux quantities for 1990-1993 Disc 6 - The 0.5 x 0.5 degree analysis: monthly climatology set Disc 7 - The 0.5 x 0.5 degree analysis: weekly climatology set, part 1 Disc 8 - The 0.5 x 0.5 degree analysis: weekly climatology set, part 2 Disc 9 - The 0.5 x 0.5 degree analysis: weekly climatology set, part 3
