... Atmospheric and Oceanic Boundary Layer Physics V. Lykossov 3.1 Introduction The globe of the earth is surrounded by a gaseous atmosphere which is always in motion. ... One of the most important problems is the parameterization of the turbulent uxes of momentum, latent and sensible heat at the sea surface. ... In the atmospheric surface layer, typically the lower 10 % of the boundary layer, the turbulent uxes of momentum, water vapor and sensible heat are nearly constant with height. ...
