This flux field is the rate of freshwater (m^-3 s^-1) entering each point of a grid covering the Southern Ocean, divided by the surface area (m^-2) represented by each grid point, which gives a flux (m s^-1) at each grid point. It was produced using up-to-date freshwater data from ice shelves, icebergs, and rivers over the period 2010-2015 and integrated over a surface encompassing Antarctica and surrounding waters. These data are intended for use in the Southern Ocean State Estimate (SOSE) iteration of the MIT General Circulation Model (MITgcm), but can be adapted for use on a different grid or model. The flux data are in units of m yr-1, on a 2160x320 grid. MATLAB scripts and tables of runoff data are available and show how the field was produced, how the data can be used and how different data can produce the field for a different grid. The field was created to update the accuracy of the freshwater input to a model based on SOSE, and to stabilise it with respect to the formation of open-ocean polynyas. This field was produced by Mark Hammond under the supervision of Dr Dan Jones at the British Antarctic Survey.

Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. true This dataset was created by the organisations with the "originator" role in this metadata record following their in-house procedures and model. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for archival and discoverability. This record will include any updates to the data as and when they occur. The originator supplies both documentation and software through the link in this metadata record. No data quality or data processing procedures were applied by BODC.
