Examining wind stress and wind waves in the presence of swell

IEEE International IEEE International IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2004. IGARSS '04. Proceedings. 2004, 2004
A case study of the air-sea drag coefficient as measured off the coast of North Carolina using a low-flying aircraft suggests that the presence of following wind swell was associated with low drag values. Shorter wave slope variance at the m and cm-scale was also depressed for these moderate wind cases.

Effects of Wind Stress and Wind Stress Curl Variability on Coastal Upwelling

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1995
Abstract Aircraft measurements during the winter 1989 Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment (SMILE) and summer 1982 Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) were used to characterize the spatial variation of the low-level wind and wind stress over the northern California shelf.

Wind Stresses in Domes

Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 1960
Bending stresses due to antisymmetrical wind pressures in hemispherical dome elastically built-in into cylinder are determined by means of Geckeler approach extended to nonsymmetrical loads; methods used in solution of present problem are easily extended to spherical sector shells stiffened by rings at boundary and to other types of nonsymmetrical ...

Laboratory Studies Of Wind Stress Over Surface Waves

Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2002
Simultaneous laboratory observations of wind speed, wind stress, and surface wind-wave spectra are made under a variety of wind forcing patterns using clean water as well a water containing an artificial surfactant. Under typical experimental conditions,

Wind and Wind Stress Measurements in HiRes

2008
Abstract : The long-term goals are to further the understanding of air-sea interaction processes including momentum, heat, water vapor, surface and boundary layer dynamics under various meteorological and oceanographic conditions. The objectives of this grant are to measure and analyze the wind, wind stress and associated quantities at sea in the High ...

Seasonal patterns of wind stress and wind stress curl over the Gulf of Mexico

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1996
Meteorological observations from an array of stations deployed along the periphery of the Gulf of Mexico, between 1990 and 1993, are used to describe the seasonal fluctuations in patterns of atmospheric variables from a contemporary set of measurements.

Upwelling induced by periodic wind stress

Il Nuovo Cimento C, 1988
In this paper we exhibit analytical solutions for the upwelling and the coastal currents induced by periodic wind stress. We present solutions for an infinite deep ocean and for a shallow ocean. There is upwelling only when the period of the forcing is longer than the inertial period,i.e. f>ω. When the period of the forcing is shorter than the inertial

The Leipzig wind profile and the boundary layer wind-stress relationship

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1973
AbstractSwinbank's recent claim that Mildner's so‐called Leipzig wind profile data for the atmospheric boundary layer support the hypothesis that the shearing stress vector and the wind vector are parallel, is critically examined and compared with the conflicting classical hypothesis that stress and velocity shear are parallel as previously applied by ...

Effect of Swell on Wind Stress for Light to Moderate Winds

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2020
AbstractBuoy observations from a 1999 Gulf of Mexico field program (GOM99) are used to investigate the relationships among friction velocity u*, wind speed U, and amount of swell present. A U–u*sea parameterization is developed for the case of pure wind sea (denoted by u*sea), which is linear in U over the range of available winds (2–16 m s−1).

Wind-Stress Coefficients at Light Winds

Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 1988
Abstract The increase of the wind-stress coefficient with wind velocity was found to start with winds as light as 3 m s−1, below which, following the formula for aerodynamically smooth flows, the wind-stress coefficient decreases as the wind velocity increases.
