The Atmospheric Boundary Layer during Swell: A Field Study and Interpretation of the Turbulent Kinetic Energy Budget for High Wave Ages
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget for five slightly unstable cases with swell has been performed based on measurements of mechanical production, buoyancy production, turbulent transport, and dissipation ...
Observational Study of Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer Characteristics during Swell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By combining simultaneous data from an instrumented Air?Sea Interaction Spar (ASIS) buoy and a 30-m tower, profiles of wind and turbulence characteristics have been obtained at several heights from about 1 to 30 m above ...
Estimates of Kinetic Energy Dissipation under Breaking Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dissipation of kinetic energy at the surface of natural water bodies has important consequences for many Physical and biochemical processes including wave dynamics, gas transfer, mixing of nutrients and pollutants, and ...
