Surface Flux Formulations in the Coastal Zone
Abstract
The long-term goal is to derive a new drag law and roughness length relationship for the coastal zone. Our primary objective is to isolate the influences of wave age and fetch on the drag coefficient and surface roughness length. This includes examination of the influence of internal boundary layer development on heat and momentum fluxes in the coastal zone, that can lead to large deviations from existing similarity theory. The second main objective is to augment the wave age with more specific wave properties. The final objective is to provide the data sets to other modeling groups.
