Laser Doppler Anemometer Measurements of Surface Wind and Aerosols Over the Sea (DURIP Instrumentation)

Abstract

The long-term goals are to measure, understand and parameterize the basic physics of the wind, waves and associated temperature and humidity structure in the boundary layer over the ocean. This is done via direct measurements in the surface layer over the ocean from, for example, platforms such as R/P FLIP. The DURIP grant is for a laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) to obtain measurements near and in the surface wave environment where other instruments fail.
