NOTE ON THE CHOICE OF ANEMOMETER HEIGHT IN FROUDE SCALING OF WIND STRESSES.

Abstract

Extending previously proposed Froude scaling of wind-stress coefficients, the present note suggests the appropriate anemometer heights for different wind fetches, and proposes a procedure of obtaining the wind stress by a single wind velocity measurement at this suggested anemometer height.
