Abstract

The magnitudes of bulk air-sea surface flux estimates calculated using three temporal averaging methods were compared. Results suggest that air-sea surface scaler fluxes and stress components computed from monthly, weekly, and even daily averaged bulk meteorological parameters can be seriously in error in equatorial, temporally variable wind regimes. -from Authors
