Generalised dependence for the ocean sea drag
The sea-drag coefficient is the main property which is employed to parameterise the air-sea interactions in large-scale models, from engineering applications to climate research.
School: Science
Program Code: 1082
Description of Work:
The sea-drag coefficient is the main property which is employed to parameterise the air-sea interactions in large-scale models, from engineering applications to climate research. Over the last 30 years, however, scatter of the experimental dependences for the sea drag parameterised as a function of wind speed and/or wave age did not improve. The proposed project would intend to develop a generalised parameterisation of the sea drag as a function of multiple environmental forcings, for use in meteorological, climate and ocean engineering applications.
