The values represent 10 minute means and include interpolated data to fill in data gaps.
There is a period at the end of the cruse with no radiative flux data.
The missing data are flagged with -999.
In all cases, the fluxes use the convention that positive implies upwards.
The fluxes and wind speeds are computed relative to fixed earth,
i.e., they have not been corrected for currents.
