We are part of a multi-institutional research team funded by the ONR- sponsored the Coupled Air- Wave-Sea Processes in the Subtropics Departmental Research Initiative. The primary research goals of the program include: (i) Surface flux observations in regions of known coupled modes, (ii) Colocated observations of atmospheric and oceanic vertical structure and evolution, and (iii) Ocean mixed layer and marine atmospheric boundary layer dynamics, and interactions between these and the surface wave field, the free atmosphere, and the interior ocean. Our goals are to contribute innovative measurements, analyses and models of the sea surface temperature at length scales as small as a 1 meter up to 100's of kilometers. This characterization includes the skin SST, waves, wave breaking, and upper ocean processes.
