Improving Formulation of Marine Stable Boundary Layers Using CBLAST Weak Wind Data

Abstract

The long-term goals are to better understand air-sea exchange of momentum, heat and moisture and its impact on the marine boundary layer and to better understand the influence of SST variations on the area-averaged (grid-averaged) flux-gradient relationship. Substantial modification of the formulation of the surface moisture flux for all conditions and the boundary layer for very stable conditions are also long term goals.
