\section{Observational mechanisms}  We observed the sea state and fluxes in a high winds regime, during the HIWINGS experiment project. Our region of interest was the North Atlantic ocean, south of Greenland, in the path of strong and frequent cyclones. There was an acute positive NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) index during that period, namely from the beginning of October to middle November, 2013. Because of this phenomenon, a powerfull jet stream and intense horizontal pressure gradients were present, hence the repetitive cyclones. We succeeded to perform the measurements during winds of over 20 m*s^-1. over.
