This Chapter summarizes the steps of quality assurance and quality control of flux
measurements with the eddy covariance method. An important part is the di erent steps of …

This chapter describes corrections that must be applied to measurements because practical
instrumentation cannot fully meet the requirements of the underlying micrometeorological …

In the late 1970s, the ENSO cycle exhibited frequency change. The oscillation period
increased from 2–4 yr (high frequency) during 1962–75 to 4–6 yr (low frequency) during …

The uncertainties in the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis (NCEPR) products are not well known.
Using a newly developed, high-resolution, quality controlled, surface meteorology dataset …

The accuracy of the SeaWinds scatterometer's vector winds is assessed through comparison
with research vessel observations. Factors that contribute to uncertainty in scatterometer …

Techniques are presented for the computation and quality control of true winds from vessels
at sea. Correct computation of true winds and quality-control methods are demonstrated for …

Reanalysis projects and satellite data analysis have provided surface wind over the global
ocean. To assess how well one can reconstruct the variations of surface wind in the data …

An instrument designed to observe wind speeds and directions over the ocean surface has
realized the promise suggested by the first spaceborne scatterometer on the SeaSAT …

BACKGROUND The importance of accurate fluxes of heat and momentum in the coupled
oceanatmosphere system has been acknowledged since the mid-1980s. Arbitrary …

Because meteorological measurements are primarily taken in the near-surface layer, they
are carried out in the micrometeorological scale. While some textbooks about …
