Roughness in the earth sciences

MW Smith - Earth-Science Reviews, 2014 - Elsevier
Rough surfaces are ubiquitous in nature. Near-surface processes both encounter and create
surface roughness. Recent advances in surveying have improved the resolution, extent and …

A review of parameterizations for enthalpy and momentum fluxes from sea spray in tropical cyclones

S Sroka, K Emanuel - Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2021 - journals.ametsoc.org
The intensity of tropical cyclones is sensitive to the air–sea fluxes of enthalpy and
momentum. Sea spray plays a critical role in mediating enthalpy and momentum fluxes over …

Sea surface microlayer in a changing ocean–A perspective

O Wurl, W Ekau, WM Landing, CJ Zappa - Elem Sci Anth, 2017 - online.ucpress.edu
The sea surface microlayer (SML) is the boundary interface between the atmosphere and
ocean, covering about 70% of the Earth's surface. With an operationally defined thickness …

Direct numerical simulation of wind turbulence over breaking waves

Z Yang, BQ Deng, L Shen - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2018 - cambridge.org
We study wind turbulence over breaking waves based on direct numerical simulation (DNS)
of two-fluid flows. In the DNS, the air and water are simulated as a coherent system, with the …

An improved bulk air–sea surface flux algorithm, including spray‐mediated transfer

EL Andreas, L Mahrt, D Vickers - Quarterly Journal of the Royal …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
A bulk air–sea flux algorithm couples the ocean and the lower atmosphere through flux
boundary conditions and can be used in various analyses and in numerical models. The …

Surface viscous stress over wind-driven waves with intermittent airflow separation

MP Buckley, F Veron, K Yousefi - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
The small-scale physics within the first centimetres above the wavy air–sea interface are the
gateway for transfers of momentum and scalars between the atmosphere and the ocean. We …
