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
## Abstract The method of geostrophic departure is used to determine the surface drag of the ocean in the Tradeβwind belt, this region being particularly suitable for the technique because the opposition of the thermal wind to the surface geostrophic wind leads to a maximum in wind speed at a few h
