Estimating monthly averaged air-sea transfers of heat and momentum using the bulk aerodynamic method
Air-sea transfers of sensible heat, latent heat and momentum are computed from 25 years of middle-latitude and subtropical ocean weather ship data in the North Atlantic and North Pacific using the bulk aerodynamic method. The results show that monthly averaged wind speeds, temperatures and humiditie...
