Abstract

The Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) regards the ocean and atmosphere as coupled system which should be studied in unison. One of the main foci of SOLAS is to achieve an understanding of air-sea exchange of heat, gases momentum aersols, and water. In order to fully understand the processes governing these air-sea fluxes, the small scale processes on both sides of the air-sea interface need to be measured. These measurement techniques also need to be modelled in order to quantify some of the errors associated with the measurements. In this paper, we describe some of the techniques that we have available for studying the SOLAS domain. These include the Air-Sea Interaction Profiler (ASIP); eddy covariance direct air sea fluxes; and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
