Abstract: Project: Hamburg Ocean Atmosphere Parameters and Fluxes from Satellite Data - For more information see http://www.hoaps.zmaw.de/ Summary: The Hamburg Ocean Atmosphere Parameters and Fluxes from Satellite Data (HOAPS) set is a completely satellite based climatology of precipitation, turbulent heat fluxes and freshwater budget (evaporation minus precipitation) as well as related athmospheric state variables over the global ice free oceans. All variables are derived from SSM/I passive microwave radiometers, except for the SST, which is taken from ...
