The boundary condition for vertical velocity and its interdependence with surface gas exchange
The law of conservation of linear momentum is applied to surface gas exchanges, employing scale analysis to diagnose the vertical velocity (<i>w</i>) in the boundary layer. Net upward momentum in the surface layer is forced by evaporation (<i>E</i>) and defines non-zero v...
