Objective Qualifying of surface fluxes. Studying the marine atmospheric boundary layer; relationship between mesoscale structures and fluxes. Test on drifting buoys with 100-metre bathymetric chains. Extending flux estimations to the mesoscale. Preparation of Sémaphore. The final objective is to produce mesoscale flux estimation compatible with GCM and satellite observations.
