Interaction Between Surface Gravity Waves and Near Surface Atmospheric Turbulence

Abstract

The long-term goal of this study is to clarify the detailed physical mechanism of the interaction between surface gravity waves and near surface atmospheric turbulence, and to improve our predictive capability of the momentum and energy transfer between the atmosphere and the ocean.
