Measurement of Net Ocean Surface Heat Flux During the ONR CBLAST Low Wind, Convective Regime Field Program Using a New Ocean Surface Contact Sensor
Abstract
The long-term goal of our project is the complete development of a novel, surface-contact, wave-following multi-sensor floats to simultaneously measure net ocean surface heath flux, solar irradiance and skin temperature. We envision multiple instruments deployed from small boats for drifting buoys in support of air-sea flux field experiments as well as long-term untended operation providing continuous measurements of heat flux and solar irradiance.
