This is an interactive tool to plot flux maps using the dataset prepared by da Silva, Young and Levitus (1994).

Which kind of quantity do you want to see? total heat flux latent heat flux sensible heat flux longwave radiation shortwave radiation air temperature sea surface temperature sea level pressure cloudiness ice coverage evaporation (E) precipitation (P) E-P specific humidity relative humidity wind speed wind stress vector

Units are W/m/m for heat flux, degree Celsius for temperature, m/s for wind speed, and newton/m/m for wind stress.

Which month do you want to see? annual January February March April May June July August September October Novebmer December

Latitude range from to and longitude range from to (e.g., specify -180 to 180 to cross Greenwich).

You can specify the size of images (Default 560x392). Which factor do you want? 0.7 1.0 1.5 2.0
