Abstract: From airborne turbulence measurements in the lowest 500 m of the atmosphere over the tropical Atlantic east of the island of Barbados, various characteristics of the turbulent boundary layer are examined. The height ...

Abstract: Time-series observations of the upper mixed layer of the ocean are presented for a six-week period at Ocean Station Papa in the northeast Pacific Ocean. These observations indicate the rate and extent of the wind-induced ...

Abstract: Venical profiles from expendable conductivity-temperature (XCTD) and sound velocity-temperature (XSVT) instruments are compared with simultaneous profiles sampled with Guildline CTD and Plessy CTD-SV systems. From these ...

Abstract: The effect of using climatological and synoptic atmospheric data commonly available at oceanic locations on the computations of surface fluxes was examined. The data used in this study are a 10-year time series of surface ...

Abstract: An air-sea interaction research program (STREX) has been carried out in the Gulf of Alaska to investigate characteristics of the boundary layers of the atmosphere and ocean in middle-latitude storms. Observations were made ...

Abstract: The results of a heat flux comparison experiment carried out at Hay, New South Wales, Australia, during May 1966 using a sonic anemometer thermometer (SAT), Fluxatron and Evapotron are reported. The instruments agree with ...
