THE PARAMETERS IN WHITECAP COVERAGE MODEL
|
Abstract:
A simple formula is analytically derived based on a Gaussian wave field,which is used to estimate the spatial fraction of breaking sea surface at an instant time,i.e.,whitecap coverage W.The resulting whitecap coverage is related to wind speed and wave average period.According to the relation between friction speed U and U10,this derived formula is further expressed with U.As a wave age is often used to describe the wave state in practice,whitecap coverage is ex-pressed as a simple function of the age.The r...
