A Method for Manually Calculating the Local Wind Current.

Abstract

A method to manually calculate the local wind current in deep water is developed. The method is based on time-dependent Ekman dynamics. The method is tuned and tested against a 2 1/2 month long current and wind record in the North Atlantic. (Author)
