Description
One of the goals of FETCH was to improve the parameterization of turbulent fluxes of momentum and heat with particular emphasis on fetch-limited situations and high wind conditions. During FETCH, fluxes were measured from three platforms. Momentum flux was measured by eddy correlation from a moored Air-Sea Interaction Spar (ASIS) buoy; momentum, heat and humidity fluxes were measured using the inertial dissipation method from the ship N.O. L'Atalante; eddy correlation fluxes were measured on a few occasions from an aircraft.
