A Novel Near-Surface Wave-Coherent Instantaneous Profiling System for Atmospheric Measurements.

ABSTRACT: Large knowledge gaps concerning the effect of ocean surface waves on near-surface vertical distributions of temperature and humidity exist due to practical limitations and sensor fidelity challenges of direct measurements. Measurements of temperature and humidity are classically made using rocket- or radiosondes and fixed weather stations and can utilize a tethered profiling system. However, these measurement systems have limitations when obtaining wave-coherent measurements near the sea surface. Consequently, boundary layer similarity models are commonly employed to fill in near-surface measurement gaps despite the documented shortcomings of the models in this region. Thus, this manuscript presents a near-surface wave-coherent measurement platform that measures high-temporal-resolution ve
