Wind, Wave, Stress, and Surface Roughness Relationships from TurbulenceMeasurements Made on R/P FLIP in the SCOPE Experiment. A Report for the DoD ASAP Program Environmental Sensing Program Element (P.ETL.2090)

摘要

This report describes and investigation of the behavior of the sea surfaceroughness length z(sub 0), and the Charnock coefficient, alpha, and their relation to the surface fluxes for moderate and light winds. The study focuses on parameterization of z(sub 0) in the convective limit when conventional approaches of determination of z(sub 0) cannot be applied.
