Surface heat flux estimates from NCAR electra data over the pacific warm pool during TOGA COARE

Creator:

Greiser, Christine M.

Abstract:

The warm pool region of the western tropical Pacific is of particular interest to atmospheric dynamics because it represents a significant source of energy to the atmosphere. A better understanding of heat transfer driven by mesoscale and turbulent circulations within this region could lead to improved global circulation models, and...
