"AirSeaFluxCode is set up to run in its default setting with a minimum number of input variables, namely wind speed; air temperature; and sea surface temperature. Let's load the code, import some real data composed for testing it (Research vessel data) and run AirSeaFluxCode with default settings (output height 10m, cool skin/warm layer corrections turned off, bulk algorithm Smith 1988, gustiness on, saturation vapour pressure following Buck (2012), tolerance limits set for both flux estimates and height adjusted variables (['all', 0.01, 0.01, 1e-05, 1e-3, 0.1, 0.1]), number of iterations are ten, non converged points are set to missing and Monin-Obukhov stability length is calculated following the ECMWF implementation."
"res is the output of AirSeaFluxCode which is a dataFrame with keys: \"tau\", \"sensible\", \"latent\", \"u10n\", \"t10n\", \"q10n\". Let's plot the flux estimates."
