✦ Synopsis

Abstrad. Surface winds were measured from anchored buoys at the corners of a loo-km triangle in the Atlantic ocean for three weeks in September 1972. The measurements were part of the British Royal Society Joint Air-Sea Interaction Project, JASIN-72. Peaks were found at a frequency of 0.125 cph (8-h period) in various wind statistics, indicating the presence of the terdiurnal, Sa, component of the atmospheric tides that had previously been extensively studied because it is a prominent component in surface air-pressure records.
