ASGAMAGE - Comparison of dual tracer and eddy correlation
results
Normalized transfer velocity, k660,
found by the Challenger crew, using the differential tracer technique (red
triangles) and k660
according to the crew at MPN, using the eddy correlation technique (yellow
circles). Results are plotted versus the wind speed at a height of 10 m,
UN10, in order to
facilitate a comparison with the two main contenders for the relationship
between the k660 and
the wind, the Liss-Merlivat (1986) and the Wanninkhof (1992) parameterizations
(dashed line and bold line, respectively).
