متن کاملSea Surface Wind/Stress Vector
Definition Wind is air in motion and is basically a vector quantity with a magnitude (speed) and a direction. Ocean surface stress is another vector quantity closely related to wind; it is the turbulent transfer of momentum between the ocean and the atmosphere. Their different applications are summarized in the section "Scientific Significance".
متن کاملWind power distribution over the ocean
[1] Probability distribution and power density of wind speed over global oceans are computed from eight years of QuikSCAT measurements. They describe the variation and higher moments of wind speed that are critical in relating the non-linear effects of wind on electric power generation capability, shipping hazard, and air-sea exchanges in heat, water, and greenhouse gases. The power density dis...
متن کاملCFOSAT: A new Chinese-French satellite for joint observations of ocean wind vector and directional spectra of ocean waves
CFOSAT (the China France Oceanography Satellite) is a joint mission from the Chinese and French Space Agencies, devoted to the observation ocean surface wind and waves so as to improve wind and wave forecast for marine meteorology, ocean dynamics modeling and prediction, climate variability knowledge, fundamental knowledge of surface processes. Currently under Phase D (manufacturing phase), the...
متن کاملMonthly Charts of Surface Wind Stress Curl over the Indian Ocean
The surface wind stress curl is the forcing function in the equations of vertically integrated water transport of wind-driven ocean currents. Hence, i t has become a basic quantity in theoretical oceanography. As the time dependence of all important surface quantities in the Indian Ocean is stronger than in other oceans, it is valuable to look particularly a t the time variation in this region....
