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

โฆ Synopsis
Turbulence data obtained abo+rd a NOAA P-3 research aircraft during flights over the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean are used to obtain mean vertical profiles of water vapor density, potential temperature, wind speed and fluxes of latent heat, buoyancy and momentum. The variation of eddy fluxes and bulk transfer coefficients as a function of atmospheric stability are plotted for two of the flights. The observed transfer coefficients generally agree with those obtained from parameterizations based on surfacelayer similarity theory ). DEPENDENCE OF FLUXES AND BULK TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS 255

Relationships between the bulk Richardson number, B, and other stability parameters were derived for the atmospheric surface layer. Nomograms were constructed, relating the Monin-Obukhov stability parameter, z/L, to B. The nomograms and the graph of Golder (1972) were used to establish various schem
