Abstract

An experimental study of the meteorology and oceanography of the cold air outbreak cycle was conducted during the fall of 1978 off Panama City, Florida. The cycle has three phases recognizable in the measurements: the prefrontal, frontal passage, and cold air outbreak/high-pressure phases. Observations indicate the extreme time variability of heat flux processes and the hazards of extrapolating to daily rates from spot measurements or very short time series.-from Authors
