Relationship between Sea Surface Drag Coefficient and Wind-Wave Parameter

Sea surface drag coefficient C D is fitted by four wind-wave parameters that are wave age, wave steepness, windsea Reynolds number R B and R H directly, with laboratory, field and combined data set. Comparison and analysis of dependence of C D on wind-wave parameters show that, among the four wind-w...

Description
Summary:Sea surface drag coefficient C D is fitted by four wind-wave parameters that are wave age, wave steepness, windsea Reynolds number R B and R H directly, with laboratory, field and combined data set. Comparison and analysis of dependence of C D on wind-wave parameters show that, among the four wind-wave parameters, windsea Reynolds number R B can fit the C D most appropriately.
