A Model for Air–Sea Interaction Bulk Coefficient over a Warm Mature Sea under Strong Wind
2008
Journal of Physical Oceanography
A boundary layer model for evaluating sensible and latent heat fluxes over a mature sea accounting for sea spray effects at wind speeds of up to 28 m s Ϫ1 is presented. Heat exchange across the ocean surface controls the development of tropical cyclones, and Emanuel's theory suggests that the ratio of the exchange coefficient of total enthalpy to the drag coefficient should be greater than 0.75 to maintain the intensity of tropical cyclones. However, traditional bulk algorithms predict a
