## Abstract The surface wind in the Straits of Gibraltar is determined by the interplay of its inclination to blow towards the end where surface pressure is lowest when the air is stable and its tendency to follow the upper wind if convection is active. The importance of cold pools of air lying bel

## Abstract A monolayer on a water surface is affected by the action of wind, and retracts until the wind drag is counter‐balanced by the opposing surface pressure gradient. This effect has been used to determine the shearing stress on water at low wind speeds. Estimates of the drag coefficient hav
