Abstract: The ability of neutrally buoyant, high-drag floats to measure the air?sea heat flux from within the turbulent oceanic boundary layer is investigated using float data from four different winter and fall float deployments. ...

Abstract: Modern surface drifters tracked by Argos are an attractive method for measuring the spatial structure of near-surface currents. This note discusses the accuracy to which velocity can be estimated from such data, assuming ...

Abstract: The evolution of near-inertial frequency currents is often thought to be controlled by the linear, inviscid equations of motion. This hypothesis is tested by simulating the near-inertial currents described in Part I using ...

Abstract: The interaction of strong near-inertial frequency currents generated by a storm with preexisting subinertial frequency currents is investigated. For 10 days after the storm, the near-inertial currents remain in the mixed ...
