Description
Summary:Measurements of surface meteorology and sea temperature taken during the GIN '89A cruise of the research vessel Alliance are presented in the form of time-series plots. The cruise was in the southern Icelandic and Norwegian Seas during the summer of 1989. True winds, net long-wave radiation and turbulent air-sea fluxes have been calculated for a number of sections in the Icelandic Current and across the Iceland-Faeroe Front, and these are shown and briefly discussed. Surface meteorological charts from the German Meteorological Service are included for the period of the cruise.
