✦ Synopsis

A video camera system for aggregate studies in the benthic boundary layer is described. In combination with a bottom water sampler it allows the study of potential cause and effect relationship associated with the morphological, chemical and biological characteristics of aggregates. A computer based image analysis system is used to convert video data to quantitative particle size and morphology data. Results from shallow water deployments reveal that under similar flow conditions the aggregate size distribution was different due to varying particle composition.

In unstable conditions, the set of equations defining the aerodynamic resistance to sensible heat transfer, rar cannot be solved analytically. An iterative technique must be used to obtain r, exactly, but this is cumbersome and time consuming. In this paper, a new, empirical equation is presented re

The contribution of radiative and turbulent processes to nocturnal atmospheric cooling has been studied using the experimental data of the ECLATS experiment which took place in the African Sahel; the radiative and turbulent fluxes were determined taking thermal advection into account. The turbulent
