Preliminary real-time surface flux calculations
This page displays the results of an experimental system to calculate surface fluxes in near-real-time using surface data from the Bay of Bengal Monsoon Buoy.
While this data is being made available, please recognize that these are preliminary results from unedited data. We are working to include automated quality control procedures, however at present this data is intended for use in developing the system, and not as a resource for understanding air-fluxes in the Bay of Bengal.
