The Woods Hole C^k returned to Bombay on .February 9, 196k and is still in the 



Indian Ocean area where it is collecting atmospheric data for the University 



of Washington and the University of Hawaii in addition to the Woods Hole 

 program. 



UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON 



The University of Washington operated the instrumented buoy MENTOR in the 

 North Arabian Sea from January through March, 1964. 



A vertical flux measurement program under the direction of Dr. Robert G. 

 Fleagle is designed to measure fluctuations in velocity components, tempera- 

 ture, and humidity from which the evaporation, heat transfer, and stress may 

 be directly computed, profile observations, together with the fluctuation 

 measurements, permit calculation of exchange coefficients. Data were tele- 

 metered by cable to a tending vessel and recorded on magnetic tape. It is 

 hoped to achieve resolution in water vapor flux (expressed as the equivalent 

 flux of "latent heat") better than 0.1 cal cm~^min"^ with corresponding 

 resolution in stress and heat flux. 



The buoy program is coordinated with the aircraft observation program operated 

 by the U„ S. Weather Bureau and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Air- 

 craft flew a closed path equivalent in area to a square about 500 km on a 

 side. From observations of wind velocity, humidity, and temperature the net 

 horizontal outflow or inflow of water vapor, heat, and momentum will be
