IMOS - ABOS Air Sea Flux Station (ASFS) Sub-Facility
The Air-Sea Flux Stations (ASFS) sub-facility is responsible for open-ocean moorings that measure real-time meteorological and oceanographic conditions at the sea surface. In particular, the stations provide data on air-sea heat and moisture fluxes, which, when combined with meteorological data, are...
