Apparatus for atmospheric boundary layer measurements over waves / by M.A. Donelan, and N. Madsen, K.K. Kahma, I.K. Tsanis.: En13-5/90-127E-PDF

"This paper describes an apparatus developed for measuring simultaneously, water elevation and static and dynamic pressure, momentum and heat fluxes above waves close to the interface. The apparatus was used successfully at the Lake Ontario wave research tower of the Canada Centre for Inland Waters. The principle and purpose of the various sensors used, calibration procedures and data gathering processes are described. Simultaneous measurements of the atmospheric boundary layer's physical quantities are presented. All the quantities necessary to close the kinetic energy budget in the atmosphere surface layer have been measured"--Abstract.
