Estimates of the geostrophic drag coefficient and the Rossby similarity functions, A and B obtained from data collected by an instrumented aircraft over the sea are presented. The average value of the geostrophic drag coefficient is 0.027 and is independent of the geostrophic windspeed. The dependen

## Abstract Eddy correlation measurements of wind turbulence obtained at a sand spit on Sable Island, Nova Scotia, in winds ranging from gentle breeze to strong gale force agree with other recent measurements over water. There is a significant increase in the drag coefficient with wind speed which
Bulk transfer coefficients were evaluated from eddy correlation flux measurements on a tixed pier during onshore winds. The mean values are C D = 1.69 x 10m3, CH = 2.58 x 1O-3 and CE = 1.51 X 10m3. The drag coefficient, C D, gradually increases with wind speed but C, and CE are independent of wind s
