Estimation of the Refractive-Index Temperature Structure Parameter over the Ocean.

摘要

The semiempirical equation of Wyngaard, Izumi, and Collins is combined with the bulk aerodynamic formulas to provide equations for the estimation of the refractive-index temperature structure parameter in the atmospheric boundary layer above the sea. The equations relate the refractive-index temperature structure parameter to easily measured quantities of average wind speed and air-sea temperature and moisture differences. Comparison with limited refractive-index temperature structure parameter data obtained in the marine boundary layer suggests that the estimation equations are satisfactory.
