Impact on Sea-Surface Electromagnetic Scattering and Emission Modeling of Recent Progress on the Parameterization of Ocean Surface Roughness, Drag Coefficient, and Whitecap Coverage in High Wind Conditions
Ocean surface wind stress is the force generating ocean surface roughness and whitecaps. The surface wind stress is related to the surface wind speed by the drag coefficient. Consequently, the magnitude of roughness and whitecaps calculated from wind speed input depends on the applied drag coefficie...
