Abstract

Airborne measurements of the total heat flux from the sea were successfully made during the Barbados oceanographic and meteorological experiment in May 1969. The values found at night ranged from 0.05 to 0.45 cal cm−2 min−1 and are half-hour averages over contiguous strips of ocean 1.6 km long and 75 meters wide. These are the first airborne measurements of this oceanic factor and the method used is new.
