TRANSFER PROCESSES OPERATING AT THE OCEAN BOUNDARIES

Abstract

Preliminary results are presented of an investigation of the applicability of Prandtl's equation to the determination of wind stresses from the vertical wind gradient in the Atchafalaya Bay region. A study of the correlation of water-level oscillations with barometric pressure and wind speed is discussed briefly.
