“…The latent and sensible heat fluxes were computed using the bulk aerodynamic formulae (Levastu and Hubert, 1970) and the momentum flux following Jacobs (1980). They are as follows: Tables I and II give the mean daily estimates of air-sea temperature difference ( Tw -TA), vapour pressure gradient (Ew -E,.,), latent heat flux (Q,), sensible heat flux ( Qs) and momentum flux (7) for the southern summer and fall, respectively.…”

Daily and zonal (latitudinal belt) averages of heat and momentum fluxes were computed using bulk aerodynamic formdae, from the meteorological parameters measured onboard 'M. S. Thuleland' during the sixth Indian scientific expedition to Antarctica (26th November, 1986 to 22nd March, 1987. Both estimates showed significant variations, the momentum flux showing the largest variation. The maximum values of sensible and latent heat fluxes were observed over the 30"-40" S and 10"20" S zones during the southern summer and fall respectively while the minimum values of latent heat flux were observed in the 60"-70" S zone for both seasons. The sensible heat flux minimum was observed in the 50"-6O"S and 60"-70"s zones for summer and fall, respectively. Higher momentum flux values over the 40"-50" S zone in summer shifted to the 50"-60" S zone during fall. 102 M. R. RAMESH KUMAR AND L. V.

Interest and activity in the equatorial oceans (defined arbitrarily as that part of the oceans within ten degrees of the equator) have undergone a remarkable expansion in the last four years. The previous IUGG report (O'Brien, 1979) listed about one hundred references – the present one lists over two hundred and fifty. Among the many reasons for this growth, a primary one is the realization of the rapid nature of equatorial responses. The vanishing of the Coriolis parameter in the presence of density stratification means that the ocean can respond strongly to basinwide winds on the climatically important, and observationalIy accessible, annual and interannual time scales. This realization has taken hold as the result of an interplay among theory, modelling and observation.
