Product Air-sea oxygen flux -- monthly anomalies (mol/m2/month)
Description This file includes monthly air-sea O2 flux anomalies on a 320x160 grid (i.e., 1.125 x 1.125 deg resolution). O2 flux anomalies are in units of mol m2 month.
"The climatology is based on weighted linear least squares regressions using heat flux monthly anomalies for spatial and temporal interpolation of historical O2 data." (Garcia and Keeling, 2001)
