Abstract

The paper presents the results of the experiments CAPMOSpsila05 and CAPMOSpsila07 performed on an offshore oceanographic platform in the Black Sea. The platform equipped with contact and remote sensors is located approximately 600 m to the south of Crimea coast, Ukraine. The experiments aimed at air-sea interaction monitoring were carried out by an international research team during summer months in 2005 and 2007. Spectral parameters of wind and waves were estimated from direct and remote measurements. A comparison with known spectrum models was performed.
