SEA SURFACE WIND STRESS: THEORETICAL CALCULATIONS COMPARED WITH DIRECT MEASUREMENTS,

Abstract

Seven days of turbulence measurements made from a thrust anemometer were analyzed. Parametric representations of the wind stress were obtained from the drag law and from the dissipation or spectrum method. These were compared with simultaneous direct measurements of wind stress. It was found that the spectrum method was superior. (Author)
