FETCH data, 22-23 March, 1998

The FETCH (Flux, État de la mer et Télédétection en Condition de fetch variable, or Flux, sea state, and remote sensing in conditions of variable fetch) experiment took place from 12 March to 16 April 1998 in the Gulf of Lion, Mediterranean Sea.

One of the goals of FETCH was to improve the parameterization of turbulent fluxes of momentum and heat with particular emphasis on fetch-limited situations and high wind conditions. During FETCH, fluxes were measured from three platforms. Momentum flux was measured by eddy correlation from a moored Air-Sea Interaction Spar (ASIS) buoy; momentum, heat and humidity fluxes were measured using the inertial dissipation method from the ship N.O. L'Atalante; eddy correlation fluxes were measured on a few occasions from an aircraft.

The dataset was originally published in DiVA and moved to SND in 2024.

FETCH（全称Flux, État de la mer et Télédétection en Condition de fetch variable，对应英文释义为Flux, sea state, and remote sensing in conditions of variable fetch，即可变风区条件下的通量、海况与遥感实验）于1998年3月12日至4月16日在地中海里昂湾开展。
该实验的核心目标之一是优化动量与热量湍流通量的参数化方案，尤其聚焦有限风区（fetch-limited）情景与强风条件。实验期间，科研团队依托三个观测平台开展通量观测：系泊式海气相互作用立柱浮标（Air-Sea Interaction Spar (ASIS) buoy，简称ASIS浮标）采用涡旋相关法（eddy correlation）测量动量通量；N.O. 阿塔兰特号科考船通过惯性耗散法（inertial dissipation method）同步测量动量、热量及水汽通量；此外团队还在少数场次中通过航空器搭载设备开展涡旋相关通量测量。
