Abstract: Project: Hamburg Ocean Atmosphere Parameters and Fluxes from Satellite Data - For more information see http://www.hoaps.zmaw.de/ Summary: The new version of the Hamburg Ocean Atmosphere Parameters and Fluxes from Satellite Data set - HOAPS II - contains improved global fields of precipitation and evaporation over the oceans and all basic state variables needed for the derivation of the turbulent fluxes. Except for the NOAA Pathfinder SST data set, all variables are derived from SSM/I satellite data over the ice free oceans between 1987 and 2002...
