Abstract: The practical limitations imposed by the marine environment on the principal flux-measurement methods for experiments requiring more than a few days? duration are examined. Reservations are presented as to the suitability ...

Abstract: An analytical error analysis (or sensitivity study) is performed for the momentum, heat, and humidity flux estimates made from weather-ship observations by using the bulk flux method. Bulk-derived stability and roughness ...

Abstract: Ten published bulk transfer coefficient schemes are used with more than 2600 sets of shipboard observations made in the North Atlantic at Ocean Station C over a one-year period. Using the same input data, the differences ...

Abstract: The rationale is given for a unique experiment in which microwave scatterometer and surface flux measurements are to be made from a blimp to develop an improved scatterometer model function. A principal goal of the effort ...

Abstract: In 1992 and 1993, the authors made measurements of the marine boundary layer off the coast of Oregon from an airship. In 1992, these measurements consisted of coherent microwave backscatter measurements at Ku band taken ...
