Parameterization of the wind stress over the ocean is central to many facets of air-sea interaction, which in turn is vital for models of weather prediction and climate modeling. Wind Stress over the Ocean brings together thirty of the world's leading experts in air-sea interaction to provide a thorough re-examination of the physical processes that transfer momentum between the atmosphere and the ocean. It will form a comprehensive guide and reference for researchers and graduate...
