 ```STATION_ASF``` is a demonstration case that mimics an in-situ station (buoy, platform) dedicated to the estimation of surface air-sea fluxes by means of the measurement of traditional meteorological surface parameters.
 
-```STATION_ASF``` is based on the merging of the "single column" and the "standalone surface module" configurations of NEMO (C1D meets SAS). As such, the spatial domain of ```STATION_ASF``` is punctual (1D).
