Open‐ocean homogeneity is violated in the near shore region by wave shoaling and
breaking, varying wind‐swell incidence angles, complex currents patterns, rapid bathymetric …

The deviation of the wind stress vector from the wind direction at the air‐sea interface under
low wind conditions was investigated based on direct eddy covariance flux measurements …

Correctly estimating the wind stress at the sea surface is of the utmost importance in models
for climate studies, weather forecasting, and ocean–atmosphere interaction. The wind stress …

The wind stress vector over the ocean surface is often misaligned with the wind direction;
this misalignment in a swell‐dominated regime is not well investigated. Directional …

The paper outlines principles of phase-resolving and phase-average wave models, with
emphasis on the state of the art of wave-current interaction physics. We argue that these …

Surface wind stress is a crucial driver of upper-ocean processes, impacting air–sea gas flux,
wind-wave development, and material transport. Conventional eddy covariance (EC) …

We introduce some new classes of unimodal rotational invariant directional distributions,
which generalize von Mises–Fisher distribution. We propose three types of distributions, one …

An Inner-shelf SPAR buoy I-SPAR for measuring atmospheric fluxes was developed for use
in 7-20 m water depth as part of the ONR Coastal Land Air Sea Interaction CLASI effort. The …

The directional wave spectra during hurricane conditions are not well represented by
numerical wave models, limiting their capability for extreme waves hindcasting and …
