The Parameterization of the Turbulent Fluxes of Momentum, Heat and Moisture at the Sea Surface

Abstract

The estimation methods for stress, and heat and moisture fluxes at the sea surface, obtained by combining the resistance-law and the non-dimensional temperature, moisture and mean velocity gradients, is described.
In these methods, the geostrophic wind velocity, the temperature and relative humidity near the surface, and the sea-surface water temperature are external parameters.
