Abstract: Momentum flux measurements made from an instrumented ocean buoy indicate that the surface drag coefficient CD is strongly dependent on changes in mean wind direction. A change in mean wind direction is accompanied by a ...

Abstract: Turbulence fluctuations over water are found to change for wind speeds more than 10?12 m s?1. Increase in turbulence level beyond this critical wind speed may be attributed to the formation of helical roll vortices. Integral ...

Abstract: Chi-square goodness-of-fit is used to test the hypothesis that the medium scale of turbulence in the atmospheric surface layer is normally distributed. Coefficients of skewness and excess are computed from the data. If the ...

Abstract: The design and construction of a bivane to measure horizontal and elevation angle fluctuations in the atmosphere are presented. Wind tunnel tests indicated a reasonably high-frequency response. Field comparisons with a ...

Abstract: Observations of mean wind speed and longitudinal turbulence at a height of 8 m over the Atlantic ocean, 5 km off Long Island, New York, were compared with simultaneous observations at the beach. Results were grouped into ...

Abstract: Instrumentation and data acquisition system for a typical air-sea interaction experiment are described. The experiments were conducted with the help of a stable air-sea interaction buoy anchored 5 km offshore in the Atlantic ...

Abstract: The bluff body simulations over canonical forms like circular and square cylinders are very well studied and the correlations for bulk parameters like mean drag coefficient and Strouhal numbers for the same are reported ...

Abstract: Atmospheric internal gravity waves that formed over a coastal and an inland site were identified from analog records of wind speed and direction. Internal gravity waves occurred at all hours at the coastal site but only ...

Abstract: SATDAS (Satellite Data Acquisition System) is a data acquisition system utilizing a satellite telemetry link that has been developed for Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, N.Y. It is to be used for air-sea interaction ...
