Abstract

Three drifting buoys were successfully air-dropped ahead of Hurricane Josephine. This deployment resulted in detailed simultaneous measurements of surface wind speed, surface pressure and subsurface ocean temperature during and subsequent to storm passage. This represents the first time that such a ...
