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. The objectives are to quantify the influences of surface heterogeneity and strong stability on the transfer coefficients for the bulk formula and to formulate the difference between the transfer coefficients for momentum, heat and moisture.
