Abstract: Longwave irradiance is often poorly estimated in heat budget calculations for the sea surface. A model using the same hourly surface data as a successful shortwave irradiance parameterization (Lumb, 1964) is developed. ...

Abstract: Accurate measurement of fluctuations in temperature and humidity are needed for determination of the surface evaporation rate and the air-sea sensible heat flux using either the eddy correlation or inertial dissipation ...
