FETCH data, 22-23 March, 1998
https://doi.org/10.57804/ks4h-xt85
The FETCH (Flux, État de la mer et Télédétection en Condition de fetch variable, or Flux, sea state, and remote sensing in conditions of variable fetch) experiment took place from 12 March to 16 April 1998 in the Gulf of Lion, Mediterranean Sea.
One of the goals of FETCH was to improve the parameterization of turbulent fluxes of momentum and heat with particular emphasis on fetch-limited situations and high wind conditions. During FETCH, fluxes were measured from three platforms. Momentum flux was measured by eddy correlation from a moored Air-Sea Interaction Spar (ASIS) buoy; momentum, heat and humidity fluxes were measured using the inertial dissipation method from the ship N.O. L'Atalante; eddy correlation fluxes were measured on a few occasions from an aircraft.

The dataset was originally published in DiVA and moved to SND in 2024.
