Abstract
In this Paper we have examined the fluxes of latent and sensible heat between the ocean and the atmosphere utilizing primarily the observations from the global experiment. The procedure for calculation is based on the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory. The transfer coefficients are stability dependent. Some calculations are also performed utilizing several different datasets. One of these covers the region of Asian monsoon oceans during the Global Experiment. This is a daily sea surface temperature (SST) dataset. A second dataset covers the global oceans for the entire FGGE year. This is a 10-day averaged dataset prepared by the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts. A third dataset obtained from the Japan Meteorological Agency, covers a 7-year period between 1979 and 1985. This dataset was also averaged over 10-day periods. Both the daily and the 10-day averaged SST data have been used for studies of low frequency oscillations. An equivalence, on the time scale of 30 to 50 days, for t...
