Drag coefficient coefficient of the projectile's motion
Military Technical CollectionThe primary forces that determine the motion of a projectile in air are its weight and the aerodynamic drag force acting on the projectile. The functional dependence of the drag force is described by two different dependences. These dependences share a common dependence on air density and the cross-sectional area of the projectile.

A parameterization of the ice-ocean drag coefficient [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2011 A parameterization of the ice‐ocean drag coefficient (Cw) was developed through partitioning the oceanic drag force into three components: (1) form drag on the floe edge, (2) form drag on the ridge keel, and (3) skin friction on the ice bottom.
