| Publisher Description: Parameterization of the wind stress--drag--over the ocean is central to many facets of air-sea interaction, which in turn is vital for models of weather prediction and climate modeling. Wind Stress over the Ocean brings together thirty of the world's leading experts in air-sea interaction, under the auspices of the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research. The contributed chapters afford a thorough reexamination of the physical processes that transfer momentum between the atmosphere and the ocean. In addition to covering established fundamentals, the book also explores active areas of research and controversy for researchers and graduate students in physical oceanography, meteorology, fluid dynamics, and coastal engineering. |
