All the foregoing will make clear that we have tried to insure 

 an acceptable simulation of the main aspects of air-sea interactions. 

 Entire modelling, with full similarity, cannot, of course, be attained. 

 We believe, however, that experiments where the various physical 

 mechanisms are effectively put in action, and where basic parameters 

 possess significant values, will realize a partial simulation of natural 

 exchanges, thus affording the possibility of interesting investigations.
