An Investigation of Atmospheric Turbulent Transfer Processes over Water

摘要

Measurements of wind and temperature profiles were made on the U. S. Lake Survey, Lake Michigan Research Tower during the summer of 1965. The tower was located near Muskegon, Michigan, one mile from shore in fifteen meters water depth. The measurements are described and available data are listed. Selected wind profiles are studied in relation to existing wave characteristics. Roughness length and drag coefficient are calculated for cases when wind speeds were greater than, equal to, and less than the speed of the dominant waves. (Author)
