| Abstract | Authors. G S Bhat et al. Abstract. Understanding air-sea interaction processes over the Bay of Bengal is critical to the economies of the countries in the Asian sub-continent, more particularly to India. Of late, there has been significant progress over the efforts by the modeling community in implementing both regional and global models for near realistic forecasts of weather. A crucial component of all the models is the accurate parameterization of near-surface fluxes. The fluxes are the boundary conditions in the model equations. To parameterize these fluxes there is the need for accurate direct measurements. The eddy covariance method is the direct measure of these fluxes. To address this long felt need for direct measurements, a highly instrumented buoy was deployed at 18N 89E to carry out direct measurements of the eddy covariance fluxes. Here we report, preliminary results on marine boundary layer processes arising from these direct measurements. The results are also compared with the popular parameterization schemes that are routinely used by the modeling community. |
