Flux measurements on R/V Kexue #1
During TOGA COARE
During the TOGA COARE
Intesive Observation Period, the
R/V Kexue #1
, from the
Institute of Oceanology Chinese Academy of Sciences, was
located at the south apex (156E, 4S) of the intesive flux array in t1he TOGA
COARE domain. Fluctuational wind was measured with a sonic anemometer mounted
on
the top
of the foremast. Fluctuational specific humidity was measured with
Lyman-alpha which was also mounted on the top of the foremast. The sonic wind
measurements were
corrected for ship motions which were measured by using a six-accelerometer
system. For more detail about the measurements and wind correction scheme,
please check the paper:
Ship-board Measurements and Estimations of Air-sea Fluxes in the
Western Tropical Pacific Ocean during TOGA COARE.
The
corrected wind and the specific humidity data are available now at this
web site thanks for the Atmospheric Turbulence Lab led by
Dr. Carl A. Friehe. Please read the Readme file before looking at the
data files.
