Abstract
In HEXOS, a programme of coordinated laboratory, field and model studi es, an international group of participants has extended the range of m easurements of evaporation from the sea and has investigated the role of droplets in the transfer of water to the atmosphere. Predictions of a rapid rise in the evaporation coefficient at wind speeds above 15 m s(-1) have not been substantiated. Wind stress measurements showed a relationship with wave age. New methods were developed for coping with flow distortion.
