dc.description.abstract	Measurements of sea-surface temperature, surface meteorology and atmospheric profiles were taken from the RV Alliance between 1 October
dc.description.abstract	and 9 November 1991. During this time the ship sailed from Amsterdam
dc.description.abstract	to La Spezia and then was deployed in the western Mediterranean Sea. The
dc.description.abstract	measurements are presented in graphical form, and daily statistics are given as tables. True winds, net long-wave radiation and turbulent air-sea fluxes have been calculated and are also presented. The measurements were made for application to studies of the accuracies of the retrieval of sea-surface temperature and atmospheric precipitable water from satellite radiometers.
