Abstract: Surface meteorological data from a large instrumented buoy moored in the North Pacific were analyzed and estimates of air-sea interaction fluxes of momentum, sensible heat, latent heat and radiation were made. Good agreement ...

Abstract: The response of the surface current to the wind has been described at various times by quadratic and linear laws. The quadratic response leads to Ekman-type currents while the linear response may be indicative of Stokes ...

Abstract: This is an analysis of the movement of six satellite-tracked (Nimbus 6) drifters which had lost their drogues. An attempt was made to correct the drifter velocity records for wind drag. The corrections, however, were ...

Abstract: The global band wind analysis produced by the Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC) has been compared with direct buoy observations of winds in the Central Equatorial Experiment. Using the six months of available data ...

Abstract: A hybrid coupled model (HCM) of the tropical ocean?atmosphere system is described. The ocean component is a fully nonlinear ocean general circulation model (OGCM). The atmospheric element is a statistical model that specifies ...
