Effects of Water Waves on Wind Shear Stress for Current Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: With the goal of improving the formulation of the wind shear stress used in numerical current modeling, a new method for including the effect of water waves on sea roughness is presented. The method is a hybrid of earlier ...
The Coupling between Wind and Waves in the WAM Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The reliability of the wave model (WAM, cycle 4) for predicting waves and wind stress in restricted fetches is investigated using measured data obtained during the Ris? Air?Sea Experiment (RASEX) at Vindeby, Denmark. The ...
On Detection of a Wave Age Dependency for the Sea Surface Roughness
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The wave age dependency of the nondimensional sea surface roughness (also called the Charnock parameter) is investigated with data from the new field measurement program at R?dsand in the Danish Baltic Sea. An increasing ...
On the Dependence of Sea Surface Roughness on Wind Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of wind waves on the momentum transfer (wind stress) between the atmosphere and sea surface was studied using new measured data from the RASEX experiment and other datasets compiled by Donelan et al. Results ...
