Abstract: A dynamic roughness equation including major wind and wave interaction parameters (wind shear velocity, wave height, and phase velocity) is derived. Because this equation implicitly incorporates the effects of wave steepness, ...

Abstract: Hourly measurements of temperature and wind speed (at 10 and 33 m) for a one-year period were made on the flat south coast of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Values of the exponent p used in the power-law wind profile were ...

Abstract: A formula that linearly relates the difference in wind speed between onshore and offshore regions, as tested successfully in the Great Lakes region, has been revised and extended to other parts of the world. This formula ...

Abstract: A mechanism is proposed for a physical explanation of the increase in wind stress (drag) coefficient with wind speed over water surfaces. The formula explicitly incorporates the contribution of both winds and waves through ...

Abstract: Along the United States Gulf coast and over the northern Gulf of Mexico, frontal overrunning occurs frequently. Cyclogenesis over the Gulf is often associated with this type of weather system. Effects of baroclinic fields ...

Abstract: Under geostrophic and hydrostatic conditions, the Margules equation for the equilibrium slope of a stationary front is applied to study the relationship between monthly frontal overrunning and the temperature difference ...

Abstract: On the basis of hourly measurements of wind and air and sea surface temperatures for at least 6 yr at three buoy stations in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the onset of the free convection regime, which coincides with the ...

Abstract: At the air?sea interface, estimates of evaporation or latent heat flux and the Monin?Obukhov stability parameter require the measurements of dewpoint (Tdew) or wet-bulb temperature, which are not routinely available as ...
