So how does one calculate the skin temperature in the roaring forties, where gale force winds are constantly ripping the tops off of 5 meter swells?

> 12 how would you calculate skin temperature in the roaring forties... Not — see the link in the second paragraph of the main post, or read at least this bit:

Not exact matches

The incident infrared radiation was measures by a pyrgeometer mounted on the ship, and the emission from the sea surface was calculated from the Stefan - Boltzmann equation using the skin temperature measurements of the M - AERI.

Removing this effect from Figure 2 (ie removing some of the hypothetical skin minus bulk temperature differences due to windy, cloudy conditions) would increase the calculated gradient further.

We can't calculate some of these fluxes accurately (especially convection), so we run the risk of spouting meaningless gibberish don't base reasoning on the MEASURED temperature of the skin layer (from its infrared emission).
