Figure 1. Buoy/C-MAN derived bulk aerodynamic surface sensible heat flux (filled circles) and surface latent heat flux (open boxes) as a function of radial distance from the tropical cyclone center. In this figure, all observations south of 33N measuring surface wind speed, air temperature and sea temperature were included. Note that in order to estimate surface latent heat fluxes, observed surface air temperatures were assumed to be saturated.
