Description
Summary:No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Based on measurements carried during summer 2000 in the area occupied by the Westspitsbergen Current fluxes of radiation, sensible and latent heat and fluxes of heat and salt within the sea upper layer are calculated. Based on direct measurements of downward and upward short-wave (solar) radiation and the net radiation fluxes and sea surface temperature the sea surface radiation balance was calculated. Daily doses of radiation energy reaching and leaving the sea surface are also estimated. To calculate vertical fluxes of heat in the atmospheric boundary layer the Bulk parameterisation method was used. In the most cases calculated values of heat fluxes were rather low, sensible heat flux about 10 W x m-2 on average and latent heat flux about one order higher, that’s what could be expected in summer season. Salt fluxes to the air in the process of aerosol production are very small and can be neglected. The highest amount of heat an salt in ...
