        abstract:  This dataset contains bulk surface-flux data from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown, calculated by the COARE Flux Algorithm from surface meteorology and ship data collected 16 February to 16 March 2016. The surface meteorology and ship data were collected while the ship sailed from Honolulu, Hawaii to the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoys along 140°W and 125°W and then to San Diego, California. The averaging period of the data is 1 hour. During January through March 2016, scientists led by the NOAA/Earth System Research Laboratory's Physical Sciences Division conducted NOAA's El Niño Rapid Response (ENRR) Field Campaign. Its goal was to document the ongoing El Niño episode in great detail, and in ways that could help researchers better understand the ways in which this El Niño affected weather in the United States and the impact of various high-resolution observations on weather forecasts. Intensive observations were collected over the central and eastern Pacific ocean from land, ocean, and airborne platforms during the very strong 2015-2016 El Niño.
        purpose:  These data provide a high-resolution view of bulk surface fluxes in the heart of the warm tropical Pacific during the late stages of the 2015-2016 El Niño. They are intended for use in meteorological, oceanographic, and biological studies of the east-central tropical Pacific during strong El Niño conditions.

                description:  Data Type: cloud_area_fraction (measured); Units: dimensionless; Observation Type: in situ; Sampling Instrument: human eye; Sampling and Analyzing Method: The "cloud_area_fraction" was reported once per hour by surface observers. Those values were linearly interpolated to the one-minute resolution of the observed surface data before being used to estimate longwave radiation. The one-minute values were averaged to one-hour resolution for this data set.; Data Quality Information:

                description:  Data Type: downwelling_longwave_flux_in_air_assuming_clear_sky (calculated); Units: W/m^2; Observation Type: model output; Sampling Instrument: Not applicable; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Calculated by the RRTMv3.3 algorithm, described in Mlawer et al. (1997, 10.1029/97JD00237), from atmospheric soundings collected during the cruise and profiles of the 7 most significant radiatively active gases: H2O, CO2, O3, N2O, CO, CH4 and O2. H2O came from the same radiosonde profile as the temperature. Surface CO2 was set to 398.4 ppm and distributed using a constant mixing ratio at all heights. Other gas profiles were taken from the US Standard Atmosphere tropical profile. The reported value is referenced to 3.8 m ASL.; Data Quality Information:

                description:  Data Type: downwelling_longwave_flux_in_air (calculated); Units: W/m^2; Observation Type: model output; Sampling Instrument: Not applicable; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Calculated from "downwelling_longwave_flux_in_air_assuming_clear_sky" and an estimate of the longwave cloud radiative effect with a hypothetical optically thick cloud at 1 km ASL that was scaled by cloud_area_fraction. We used RRTMv3.3 coupled with the DISORT algorithm, described in Stamnes et al. (1988, doi:10.1364/AO.27.002502), and considered absorption but not scattering. The reported value is referenced to 3.8 m ASL.; Data Quality Information:

                description:  Data Type: surface_upwelling_longwave_flux_in_air (calculated); Units: W/m^2; Observation Type: model output; Sampling Instrument: Not applicable; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Calculated by the "coare35vnWarm" version of the COARE flux algorithm, described in Edson et al. (2013, doi:10.1175/jpo-d-12-0173.1), assuming a surface emissivity of 0.97. The following measured quantities were used as input to coare35vnWarm: time, pressure, air temperature, wind, bulk ocean temperature, and solar radiation. Estimated longwave radiation was also used as input. The input winds were valid at the height of the radiosonde ground station, zu = 3.8 m ASL. We had a bulk ocean temperature rather than a true ocean skin temperature, so coare35vnWarm did a cool-skin calculation to get SST.; Data Quality Information:

                description:  Data Type: downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air (measured); Units: W/m^2; Observation Type: in situ; Sampling Instrument: IMET Eppley PSP; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Downwelling shortwave radiation was measured at 11.2 m ASL, logged at 1 Hz, and averaged to 1 minute, then averaged to 1 hour for input to coare35vnWarm.; Data Quality Information:
