Flux Profiles in the Marine Layer Over the Open Ocean.

Abstract

The specific purpose of the research is to make accurate, precise measurements of the wind profile, wind stress, pressure, and surface waves to determine if previous results obtained primarily from over land surface layer experiments hold over the sea. Previous attempts to measure the wind profile over the ocean, in other than very shallow water, were compromised by instrumentation problems and other factors.
