Improving Surface Flux Parameterizations in the Navy's Coastal Ocean Atmosphere Prediction System

Abstract

The long-term goal is to understand the physical processes that critically regulate the coupling between the oceanic and atmospheric boundary layers and develop advanced parameterizations of this interaction for a new generation of coupled ocean-atmosphere models.
