“…There was a growing need for data in higher wind-speed conditions to determine the dependence of CD on the wind speed over the ocean. More experiments were conducted (Hay, 1955;Fleagle et al, 1958;Brocks, 1959), but data were still lacking at speeds above 13 m s-l. By the end of the 1950's, there was some agreement on the value of CD but no consensus on its wind-speed dependence. It began to appear that open-ocean coefficients were slightly lower than those from semi-enclosed waters.…”

During the past quarter century the study of air-sea interaction has evolved from a small branch of marine climatology to play a key role in the modelling of the coupled system of ocean and atmosphere. Knowledge of air-sea fluxes has grown, based on Monin-Obukhov similarity theory for surface boundary layers and on direct and indirect techniques of measuring the fluxes. This has been the basis for providing boundary conditions needed to couple atmospheric and oceanic circulation models that are used to forecast weather and climate. An overview of current understanding is followed by a discussion of parameterisation schemes and a chronicle of some of the experimental work that has tested theories and quantified their conclusions.

“…It is expected that a semi-stable profile buoy described by Brocks (1959) and Dunckel (1967) and the three Florida State University buoys described by Garstang and La Seur (1968) will participate in the program. Efforts are currently underway to obtain a very stable buoy for at least part of the experimental period.…”

The Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment is a national experiment scheduled to take place May 1-July 31, 1969, in the ocean area north and east of the Island of Barbados. The experimental area for at least the first half of the experiment is outlined by the ships in Fig. 1. Although some international participation is anticipated, the experiment is regarded as primarily a United States contribution to the Global Atmospheric Research Program. The experiment is broad in scope. The scientific programs fall broadly into the fields of oceanography (tides, internal waves, variability, etc.), satellite meteorology, atmospheric convection and radiation, and synoptic FIG. 1. Map of experimental area and ship array configuration for at least the first half of the experiment.
