A number of empirical expressions have been used to estimate the effective outgoing long wave radiation from a sea surface. We have used the observations recorded during the Indo-USSR Monsoon Experiment of 1977 to test the efficiency of these expressions, We find that an expression derived by Girduk et at. ( 1973) tends to provide a better fit with the actinometric observations than the other empirical expressions currently in use.
