TLDR
A stable tower has been moored in 58 m of water, 10 km from shore in the Atlantic Ocean near Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada as mentioned in this paper, which is exposed to unlimited fetch for winds from the south and east, and is in a deepwater wave regime for all but the longest waves.Abstract:
A stable tower has been moored in 58 m of water, 10 km from shore in the Atlantic Ocean near Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. This tower is exposed to unlimited fetch for winds from the south and east, and is in a deep-water wave regime for all but the longest waves.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, correlation measurements of wind turbulence obtained at a sand spit on Sable Island, Nova Scotia, in winds ranging from gentle breeze to strong gale force agree with other recent measurements over water.

Parameterization of Air-Sea Interface Fluxes of Sensible Heat and Moisture by the Bulk Aerodynamic Formulas
Carl A. Friehe,Kurt F. Schmitt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the sensible heat and moisture fluxes by the bulk aerodynamic formulas were determined from a compilation of existing data, together with some new results, and the least square error fits were performed on the data.

Thrust‐anemometer measurements of wind turbulence, Reynolds stress, and drag coefficient over the sea
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the drag coefficient of the sea surface with a telemetering thrust anemometer on a stable platform and found that the mean value for 32 runs, C10 = 1.35 × 10−3 ± 0.34 × 10 −3 is believed to be representative of open-sea conditions.
