Air-sea enthalpy and momentum exchange at major hurricane wind speeds

Air--sea exchanges of heat and momentum are important elements in understanding and skillfully predicting tropical cyclone intensity, but the magnitude of the corresponding wind-speed dependent bulk exchange coefficients is largely unknown at major hurricane wind speeds greater than 50 m s-1. Since...
