Abstract
Values are presented for bulk aerodynamic coefficients which were calculated from two rather extensive sets of estimates of sensible heat and moisture fluxes based on profile measurements. These results are compared with a number of other results mainly based on fluxes estimated from eddy-correlation measurements.
