Surface Fluxes and Wind-Wave Interactions in Weak Wind Conditions

Abstract

The scientific objectives for analyzing the CBLAST-Low experiment data are to understand air-sea interactions especially under weak wind conditions by mainly focusing on vertical variations and magnitudes of atmospheric turbulence over oceanic waves within wave boundary layers and marine atmospheric surface layers using the unprecedented dataset. Our objective for FY2007 is to finalize our CBLAST-Low data analysis with many cases as possible, which includes both pilot and main experiment, and both tower and aircraft data. We are in the final stage of preparing a manuscript to be submitted to a journal.
