An assessment of the sea breeze energy potential using small wind turbines in peri-urban coastal areas [PDF]
, 2015 From wind speed data recorded hourly at 2 m high during 18 years (1993-2010) in the Llobregat Delta (15 km south of Barcelona city; northeast of the Iberian Peninsula), wind speed distributions at 10 m high were computed for the whole year and for the ...

A Wind–Wave-Dependent Sea Spray Volume Flux Model Based on Field Experiments
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Sea spray can contribute significantly to the exchanges of heat and momentum across the air–sea interface. However, while critical, sea spray physics are typically not included in operational atmospheric and oceanic models due to large uncertainties in ...

Derivation of Sea Surface Wind Directions from TerraSAR-X Data Using the Local Gradient Method
Remote Sensing, 2016 Derivation of sea surface wind direction is a key step of sea surface wind retrieval from spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. This technical note describes an implementation of the Local Gradient (LG) method to derive sea surface wind ...

The impact of waves and sea spray on modelling storm track and development
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2015 In high wind speed conditions, sea spray generated by intensely breaking waves greatly influences the wind stress and heat fluxes. Measurements indicate that the drag coefficient decreases at high wind speeds. The sea spray generation function (SSGF), an
