Air-sea fluxes derived using bulk formulas from a subset of the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Dataset (ICOADS). Fluxes are derived from ship-based and mooring-based observations and are available for the period 1990-2020. These fluxes are derived from individual marine weather and ocean reports and are provided at the time and location of the original observations.
