Analysis of Marine Boundary Layer Phase II Data

Abstract

The long-terms goals of the research are to understand and parameterize the physics of air-sea interaction, and in particular wind-wave interaction. The effort is primarily experimental, based on measurements over the sea under a variety of wind-wave conditions. Seven gigabytes of data were obtained from the Marine Boundary Layers experiment from the Research Platform FLIP. Other related experiments utilize research aircraft to probe the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL).
