Intercomparison of the Charnock and COARE bulk wind stress formulations for coastal ocean modelling

The accurate parameterisation of momentum and heat transfer across the air–sea interface is vital for realistic simulation of the atmosphere–ocean system. In most modelling applications accurate representation of the wind stress is required to numerically reproduce surge, coastal ocean circulation,...
