## Abstract The problem of estimating shearing stress from the wind profile in the lowest layers is discussed from the operational viewpoint. It is concluded that windβprofile data alone may never in practice be sufficient, even though a universal profile with the stress as a separable parameter ma
## Abstract Values for the shear stress Ο~0~ of the wind on a water surface, found in seven later experiments, are compared with the data of Francis (1951). Four sets of the new data show that the stress coefficient __C__ = Ο~0~/Ο±u^2^ is not constant, but that it increases somewhat with windspeed u
