Abstract: Effects of new drag coefficient (Cd) parameterizations on WAVEWATCH III (WW3) model surface wave simulations are investigated. The new parameterizations are based on a coupled wind?wave model (CWW) and a wave tank experiment, ...

Abstract: Present parameterizations of air?sea momentum flux at high wind speed, including hurricane wind forcing, are based on extrapolation from field measurements in much weaker wind regimes. They predict monotonic increase of ...

Abstract: A new bulk parameterization of the air?sea momentum flux at high wind speeds is proposed based on coupled wave?wind model simulations for 10 tropical cyclones that occurred in the Atlantic Ocean during 1998?2003. The new ...

Abstract: AbstractA statistical?dynamical model for predicting tropical cyclone (TC) intensity has been developed using a track-pattern clustering (TPC) method and ocean-coupled potential predictors. Based on the fuzzy c-means ...

Abstract: Numerical simulation of sea surface directional wave spectra under hurricane wind forcing was carried out using a high-resolution wave model. The simulation was run for four days as Hurricane Bonnie (1998) approached the ...

Abstract: The effect of surface waves on air?sea momentum exchange over mature and growing seas is investigated by combining ocean wave models and a wave boundary layer model. The combined model estimates the wind stress by explicitly ...
