## Abstract The method of geostrophic departure is used to determine the surface drag of the ocean in the Trade‐wind 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

## Abstract Wind speeds were measured over the sea at five heights up to 8 m. Though the fetch was limited, the wind profiles obtained are considered representative of flow over the sea. The wind speed varies logarithmically with height when the temperature gradient is small. Assuming that laborat
