The MATLAB functions in the main directory calculate instantaneous air-sea and sea-air fluxes of several gases using a variety of published gas exchange parameterizations.

The subdirectory weighted_flux contains functions for calculating time-weighted sea-air fluxes and for downloading historical wind speed, sea level pressure, and sea ice coverage data used in these calculations.

Please see README_for_gas_toolbox.pdf for more details on the functions.

Some of the functions in this repository were developed by or adapted from code by Robert Izett (available at https://github.com/rizett/RI_download_functions), Roberta Hamme (available at https://oceangaseslab.uvic.ca/download.html), and other colleagues. These contributions are acknowledged in the headers of individual functions.

Development of the gas_toolbox functions for oceanographic research was supported by the National Science Foundation OCE award 1129644 to David Nicholson.
