Acknowledgments. The authors are indebted to the many people and organizations who supplied data for this study and assisted injhe conduct of the various experiments. These include the NOAA* Research Flight Facility, which flew the low-level (100 m) experiment, NASA Ames, JSC, and GSFC, which contributed much of the photography and all of the microwave data, and Bruce Gritton, who greatly aided in the processing of the data. This work was supported by NASA funds disseminated by the NOAA National Environmental Satellite Service and the SPOC group of the Naval Oceanographic Office. References Cardone, V.
