The estimated energy fluxes from wind to waves (ρg ∫S_wind df), are plotted against the vertically integrated ocean TKE dissipation rates (ρ ∫ єdz). No wind stress measurements were available for the unaccompanied buoy (purple): therefore, u* was estimated using the buoy-measured windspeed and a drag coefficient. Measurements fall approximately on the 1 : 1 line, suggesting that the local wind energy flux to the waves sets the near-surface turbulence rates. Some estimates of F were negative due to contributions from cos(θ_r), and were not included. Error bars for F represent the uncertainty of the constant in β (Equation 3), and do not include uncertainties in wave spectral or wind stress measurements. Error bars for TKE dissipation rates were estimated from the confidence intervals when fitting the structure function to an r^2/3 dependence (Equation 12).
