Abstract
3 Weeks of aerometric observations from a shipboard platform are described and analyzed to obtain surface layer quantities relevant to the dispersion of pollutants from offshore oil operations. Momentum, heat, and moisture flux were estimated with two different methods: the dissipation technique and bulk parameterizations. Diffusion scale turbulence was measured with bivane anemometers and estimates of ship motion contributions to these measurements were performed. Keywords: Turbulence diffusion; Measurements; and Santa Barbara Channel. (Author)
