This Application is a simple calculator that estimates Turbulent Air-Sea Fluxes based on input variables such as wind speed, air temperature, or relative humidity. The input variables can be easily set by hand with sliders. The present Air-Sea Flux Calculator application makes it easy to get an estimate of the fluxes at Sea of for Educational purposes The code is a simplification of the well known bulk algorithm so-called COARE 3.0 (Fairall et al. 2003). The authors of this code are Nicolas Bourras and Denis Bourras (MIO CNRS UMR 7294, Institut Méditerranéen d'Océanologie, Institut Pytheas CNRS UAR 3470, Aix-Marseille University).

This dataset comprises two netcdf files. The first file contains the six global two-dimensional maps necessary to implement the tidal mixing parameterization presented in de Lavergne et al. (2020). Four power fields (E_wwi, E_sho, E_cri and E_hil) represent depth-integrated internal tide energy dissipation, with units of Watts per square meter. Each power field corresponds to a specific dissipative process and associated vertical structure of turbulence production. The two remaining fields, H_cri and H_bot, are decay heights (with units of meters) that enter the vertical structures of the E_cri and E_hil components, respectively. The second file contains three-dimensional fields of turbulence production (with units of Watts per kilogram) obtained by application of the parameterization to the WOCE global hydrographic climatology. The file includes the total turbulence production (epsilon_tid), its four components (epsilon_wwi, epsilon_sho, epsilon_cri, epsilon_hil), and the underlying hydrographic fields, as a function of longitude, latitude and depth. All maps have a horizontal resolution of 0.5º. Detailed documentation of the parameterization can be found in the following publication: de Lavergne, C., Vic, C., Madec, G., Roquet, F., Waterhouse, A.F., Whalen, C.B., Cuypers, Y., Bouruet-Aubertot, P., Ferron, B., Hibiya, T.
