Wind Speed and Sea State Dependencies of Air‐Sea Gas Transfer: Results From the High Wind Speed Gas Exchange Study (HiWinGS)
Byron Blomquist,Sophia E. Brumer,Christopher W. Fairall,Barry J. Huebert,Christopher J. Zappa,Ian M. Brooks,Mingxi Yang,Ludovic Bariteau,John Prytherch,J. E. Hare,Helen Czerski,A. Matei,Robin W. Pascal +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the HiWinGS project successfully measured gas transfer coefficients (k660) with coincident wave statistics under conditions with hourly mean wind speeds up to 24 m s−1 and significant wave heights to 8 m.

CFD model estimates of the airflow distortion over research ships and the impact on momentum flux measurements
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to simulate the flow over particular ships, quantify the effects of flow distortion, and hence correct the ship-based measurements.

Development of a reliable microelectrode dissolved oxygen sensor
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a careful experimental and analytical investigation led to the development of an accurate and reproducible microelectrode dissolved oxygen sensor for oceanographic applications but also applicable to environmental and water process monitoring, the sensor measures the diffusion controlled current to a bare Pt microdisc electrode for the reduction of oxygen.
Were extreme waves in the Rockall Trough the largest ever recorded
Naomi P. Holliday,Margaret J. Yelland,Robin W. Pascal,Val R. Swail,Peter K. Taylor,Colin Griffiths,Elizabeth C. Kent +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a shipborne wave recorder measured individual waves up to 291 m from crest to trough, and a maximum significant wave height of 185 m. The measurements were compared to a wave hindcast (AES40, Swail and Cox, 2000) which successfully simulated the arrival of the wave group but underestimated the most extreme waves.
A Miniature, High Precision Conductivity and Temperature Sensor System for Ocean Monitoring
TL;DR: In this article, a miniature high precision conductivity and temperature (CT) sensor system has been developed for ocean salinity monitoring using micro fabrication technology, which has a 1 month battery life at 10 s sampling interval.
