Direct Flux Measurements from Mobile Platforms at Sea: Motion and Airflow Distortion Corrections Revisited
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hip-based measurements of wind speed and direct fluxes are affected by airflow distortion that can lead to a tilt of the wind vector as well as acceleration or deceleration of the wind speed. Direct flux measurements are ...
SkinDeEP: A Profiling Instrument for Upper-Decameter Sea Surface Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Skin Depth Experimental Profiler (SkinDeEP) is an autonomous, self-contained, hydrodynamic instrument capable of making repeated, high-resolution profiles of temperature and conductivity within the ocean's upper ...
Enhanced Turbulence Associated with the Diurnal Jet in the Ocean Surface Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: etailed observations of the diurnal jet, a surface intensification of the wind-driven current associated with the diurnal cycle of sea surface temperature (SST), were obtained during August and September 2012 in the ...
The Air–Sea Interaction Profiler (ASIP): An Autonomous Upwardly Rising Profiler for Microstructure Measurements in the Upper Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he upper few meters of the ocean form a critical layer for air?sea interaction, but because of observational challenges this region is undersampled. However, the physical processes controlling momentum transfer, gas exchange, ...
Modeling Whitecap Fraction with a Wave Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh-resolution measurements of actively breaking whitecap fraction (WFA) and total whitecap fraction (WFT) from the Knorr11 field experiment in the Atlantic Ocean are compared with estimates of whitecap fraction modeled ...
Evaluating Humidity and Sea Salt Disturbances on CO2 Flux Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractGlobal oceans are an important sink of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Therefore, understanding the air?sea flux of CO2 is a vital part in describing the global carbon balance. Eddy covariance (EC) measurements ...
Statistical and Dynamical Characteristics of Extreme Wave Crests Assessed with Field Measurements from the North Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Physical Exchanges at the Air–Sea Interface: UK–SOLAS Field Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As part of the U.K. contribution to the international Surface Ocean?Lower Atmosphere Study, a series of three related projects?DOGEE, SEASAW, and HiWASE?undertook experimental studies of the processes controlling the ...
