Hi all,

I am a user of ECCO v4r4. I have a question about surface heat flux in ECCO data.

"EXFqnet" is defined as "Open ocean net air-sea heat flux", but I see very large value over the sea-ice regions. How should this be interpreted?

If I want to see pure open ocean-atmosphere fluxes, should I mask them with appropriate sea ice data?

Best regards,
Hiroyuki TOMITA
