Wind Stress Dynamics in Chesapeake Bay: Spatiotemporal Variability and Wave Dependence in a Fetch-Limited Environment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he spatiotemporal variability of wind stress dynamics in Chesapeake Bay has been investigated using a combination of observations and numerical modeling. Direct measurements of momentum and surface heat fluxes were collected ...
Drag Coefficients with Fetch-Limited Wind Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Air?sea fluxes of momentum and heat were measured simultaneously with surface wind waves and near-surface currents in mid Chesapeake Bay during summer 1998 under low wind conditions. The data were collected using a Gill ...
Characterization and Modulation of Langmuir Circulation in Chesapeake Bay
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easurements made as part of a large-scale experiment to examine wind-driven circulation and mixing in Chesapeake Bay demonstrate that circulations consistent with Langmuir circulation play an important role in surface ...
Surface Wave Effects on the Translation of Wind Stress across the Air–Sea Interface in a Fetch-Limited, Coastal Embayment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe role of surface gravity waves in structuring the air?sea momentum flux is examined in the middle reaches of Chesapeake Bay. Observed wave spectra showed that wave direction in Chesapeake Bay is strongly correlated ...
