# Air Sea Flux Project pre planning

## Quick recap


## Major issues
- Key Figures Discussion
    - High Level Visualization
    - Long term mean results
    - ...?

- Theoretical interpretation of the results
    - The long term mean effect of small scales is strictly reinforcing the large scale signal
    - Is this true for other time intervals? (I found some evidence that this is not true). Maybe @Paige can definitively say this by tomorrow?
        - Mostly true for daily fields, but not exclusively. See my issue [here](https://github.com/ocean-transport/scale-aware-air-sea/issues/34).

- Technical blocker: Error due to high windstress.
    - Can we increase the cutoff in our code wrapper?
    - Does that make scientific sense
    - Engage with aerobulk folks via email? Have a meeting and explain more what we are doing.
    

- Quick: Adding NCAR model
    - Paige has been working on NCAR model and is currently working to figure out two issues:
        - Running using UBOT and VBOT (velocities from the lowest model level) runs into the technical blocker due to high windstress
        - In the last day or so, I found that we probably want to use U10, which is the wind speed at 10 meters above the sea surface. The UBOT and VBOT variables appear to be at ~60m above the surface... However, when using U10, I see a *very* large effect from the small scales, so I am currently going back through my calculation to figure this out.
