CFD Model Estimates of the Airflow Distortion over Research Ships and the Impact on Momentum Flux Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind velocity and air?sea turbulent flux measurements made from shipborne instruments are biased due to the effect of the ship on the flow of air to the instruments. The presence of the ship causes the airflow to a particular ...
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 ...
Statistical Comparisons of Observed and ECMWF Modeled Open Ocean Surface Drag
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The surface-drag coefficients of two versions of the ECMWF's atmosphere?wave model are compared with those of uncoupled model versions and with those of inertial-dissipation measurements in the open ocean made by the RRS ...
Wind Stress Measurements from the Open Ocean Corrected for Airflow Distortion by the Ship
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large dataset of wind stress estimates, covering a wide range of wind speed and stability conditions, was obtained during three cruises of the RRS Discovery in the Southern Ocean. These data were used by Yelland and ...
