KWAJEX Air-Sea Fluxes

Turbulent fluxes (stress, sensible, latent heat)

Direct covariance, inertial-dissipation, bulk

*Flow distortion corrections (maneuvers, wind tunnel)

*Several passes thru motion corrections

*Fast humidity (3 different sensors) calibration study

*Method intercomparisons

Radiative fluxes (Downward LW and SW)

Standard pyranometers and pyrgeometers

*Calibration check with ARM/BNL sensors

*Clear sky models

Bulk Meteorology

Wind speed: sonic anemometer, GPS, ring-laser gyrocompass, ship's Doppler log

Air Temperature : aspirated Vaisala HMP-235 + IMET

Air Humidity: aspirated Vaisala HMP-235 + IMET

Water temperature: sea snake, TSG

*Carefully checked on JASMINE cruise

*Ship-to-ship intercomparisons on Nauru99
