Synoptic estimates of air sea fluxes ...
Synoptic and climatological dynamic studies generally rely on bulk aerodynamic flux formulae to describe air-sea heat and momentum exchange on synoptic and climatological scales. Barometric pressure maps (which involve an intrinsic temporal averaging of the wind) and wind roses provide two sources o...
