Description

Data used for creating figures in the draft article "Saildrone direct covariance wind stress in various wind and current regimes of the tropical Pacific". This includes:

  • 1-minute average fields as broadcast in real time by Saildrone;
  • 10-minute average direct covariance fluxes (calculated by Jack Reeves Eyre);
  • 10-minute average bulk fluxes (calculated by Dongxiao Zhang using the COARE 3.5 algorithm).

Code used to calculate the direct covariance fluxes, and to create the plots, is in a Github repository (https://github.com/NOAA-PMEL/SaildroneCovarianceFlux). The repository is also archived on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6484795).

The data are archived in a directory structure that should work with the code - only a simple edit of "src/config.py" should be required.
