Abstract
  • This data report contains observations made from R/P FLIP as part of the first process-oriented NORPAX (North Pacific Experiment) experiment. The experiment was named POLE to indicate that the horizontal extent of sampling was small compared to the largest scale investigated in NORPAX. The part of the experiment reported here was conducted during the period 28 January 74 through 14 February 74. During this time, FLIP occupied a station approximately 800 miles north of the Hawaiian Island Chain (35°N. lat, 155° W. lonq) under free drift conditions. Direct measurements of the incident solar, reflected solar, net all-wave and net long-wave fluxes were made from R/P FLIP during the period 2 to 14 Febru­ary 74. The sea surface temperature was also observed with a radiation thermometer. Standard meteorological observations, from which the latent and sensible heat fluxes from the sea surface to the atmosphere-were derived, also were made during this period. Vertical profiles of temperature and salinity were taken from R/P FLIP throughout the period 30 January through 14 February 74. Profiling was con­centrated in the mixed layer and thermocline. The maximum depth reached was 325 meters. On average, 8 profiles were measured per day. On occasion, more intensive sampling was maintained.
