Hello there,
I am tying to force the ocean model with external surface heat flux (SHF) and surface fresh water flux (SFWF). For 'bulk-NCEP' formulation, I don't know what's the exact field to input. For example, for surface heat
flux (SHF) forcing, the necessary fields are SST, air temperature, air humidity, downward shortwave radiation, cloud fraction, and
wind speed, but are those variables at surface, or at reference height, or even at exact 10m? Are these input fields obtainable
from ATM history files, like "T/TS/TREFHT, Q/QREFHT, FSDS, CLDTOT/CLOUD, U^2+V^2"? Or some complex formula to get the
input fields?
Thanks.
