Author(s): Bourras, D.; Branger, H.; Reverdin, G.; Marié, L.; Cambra, R.; Baggio, L.; Caudoux, C.; Caudal, G.; Morisset, S.; Geyskens, N.; Weill, A.; Hauser, D.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: he present paper describes a new type of floating platform that was specifically designed for estimating air?sea fluxes, investigating turbulence characteristics in the atmospheric surface boundary layer, and studying ...

Toward a Better Determination of Turbulent Air–Sea Fluxes from Several Experiments

Source: Journal of Climate:;2003:;volume( 016 ):;issue: 004:;page 600

Author(s): Weill, A.; Eymard, L.; Caniaux, G.; Hauser, D.; Planton, S.; Dupuis, H.; Brut, A.; Guerin, C.; Nacass, P.; Butet, A.; Cloché, S.; Pedreros, R.; Durand, P.; Bourras, D.; Giordani, H.; Lachaud, G.; Bouhours, G.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: An accurate determination of turbulent exchanges between the ocean and the atmosphere is a prerequisite to identify and assess the mechanisms of interaction that control part of the variability in the two media over a wide ...

Author(s): Vialard, J.; Duvel, J. P.; Mcphaden, M. J.; Bouruet-Aubertot, P.; Ward, B.; Key, E.; Bourras, D.; Weller, R.; Minnett, P.; Weill, A.; Cassou, C.; Eymard, L.; Fristedt, T.; Basdevant, C.; Dandonneau, Y.; Duteil, O.; Izumo, T.; de Boyer Montégut, C.; Masson, S.; Marsac, F.; Menkes, C.; Kennan, S.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The Vasco?Cirene program explores how strong air?sea interactions promoted by the shallow thermocline and high sea surface temperature in the Seychelles?Chagos thermocline ridge results in marked variability at synoptic, ...
