✦ Synopsis

Cloud motions over the Indian Ocean were compared to ship observations for the FGGE year. The statistics ofthis comparison show seasonal changes in the cloud-ship relationship as well as geographical and wind-pattern-dependent fetch history changes. Most of these changes follow simple boundary-layer relationships governed by friction and temperature advection. The most significant result is the improvement of the cloud-ship directional shear with wind speed. The mean veering angle between cloud and ship measurements decreased at higher wind speeds along with scatter of the shearing angle. This implies that the ability ofcloud motion measurements to indicate the wind stress on the ocean improves for the important situations when the winds are strong.
