EASI: An Air-Sea Interaction Buoy for High Winds Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Abstract This paper describes the new Extreme AirSea Interaction (EASI) buoy designed to measure direct airsea fluxes, as well as mean properties of the lower atmosphere, upper ocean, and surface waves in high wind and wave conditions. The design of the buoy and its associated deep-water mooring are discussed. The performance of EASI during its 2010 deployment off Taiwan, where three typhoons were encountered, is summarized.
