A Comparison of the Air-Sea Interaction Flux Measurement Systems of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography and the Institute of Oceanography, University of British Columbia.
Abstract
A comparison of two air-sea interaction measurement systems was run at Sable Island, N. S., in September and October, 1975. The BIO (Bedford Institute of Oceanography) sensors included thrust and sonic anemometers for wind turbulence measurement, a microbead thermistor, and a Lyman-alpha humidity sensor. The UBC (University of British Columbia) system consisted of a modified Gill propeller-vane anemometer, thermistors, and Brady and aluminum oxide type humidity sensors. Both data sets were recorded in fm analogue form and digitized and analyzed at BIO. The UBC system also made digital recordings, which will be reported elsewhere. Both systems operated together to produce generally comparable results.
