The relationship between satellite-derived low-level cloud motion, surface wind and geostrophic wind vectors is examined using GATE data. In the trades, surface wind speeds can be derived from cloud motion vectors by the linear relation: V = 0.62 V, + 1.9 m s-l with a mean scatter of f 1.3 m s-l. Th

## Abstract This paper investigates the modelling of overβocean hurricane surface wind fields and their associated uncertainty. The wind models tested include parameterized balance models, a twoβdimensional numerical planetary boundaryβlayer model and a threeβdimensional (3D) linear analytical boun
## Abstract The ratio of the wind at 50 ft to the wind at 2000 ft has been calculated for a number of cases from ocean weather ship observations over the North Atlantic and mean values classified according to the lapse rate and the velocity of the wind at 2000 ft. Curves have been drawn showing the
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
