1. 1. The Behaviour of the Latent Heat Exchange Coefficient in the Stable Marine Boundary Layer

   University essay from Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Kristina Lindgren; [2008]
   Keywords : Latent heat flux; Sensible heat flux; Exchange coefficient; Neutral exchange coefficient; Turbulent Fluxes; Marine Boundary Layer; Stable Stratification; Air-sea interaction; Dimensionless profile functions; Östergarnsholm;

   Abstract : Knowledge of the turbulent fluxes at the sea surface is important for understanding the interaction between atmosphere and ocean. With better knowledge, improvements in the estimation of the heat exchange coefficients can be made and hence models are able to predict the weather and future climate with higher accuracy.

3. 2. The Influence of Waves on the Heat Exchange over Sea

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Erik Sahlée; [2002]
   Keywords : air-sea interaction; turbulent fluxes; heat flux; swell; atmosphere-wave interaction; Stanton number;

   Abstract : The main focus of this study is the influence of waves on the heat transfer over sea. In particular, the bulk transfer coefficient CH (the Stanton number), has been investigated for possible wave influence. Measurements from the site Östergarnsholm in the Baltic Sea have been used. The site has a large sector with undisturbed over water fetch. READ MORE
