Abstract:
We estimate, from the moisture budget the bulk aerodynamic coefficient for latent heat flux (Ce) during the monsoon season over the central Arabian Sea. The average value ofCeunder active monsoon conditions was found to be 2.25 × 10−3 which is nearly 60% higher than those previously used.
