Analysis of Marine Boundary Layer Phase II Data

Abstract

The long-term goals are to 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 from the Research Platform FLIP of the wind profile, turbulence, waves and associated variables. Data from other experiments (coastal up-welling, tropical ocean (TOGA COARE), and over land) are used for comparison and extension to different regimes.
