Shipboard Turbulence Measurements of the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer from Hires Experiment

Abstract

The High Resolution Air-Sea Interaction (HiRes) DRI main experiment (1 to 30 of June, 2010) took place near the north to central California coast offshore Bodega Bay (Fig. 1). Insitu and sodar turbulence measurements were collected onboard R/V Robert Gordon Sproul (about 35 m length and 9.5 m maximum height).
