Bulk, Spectral and Deep Water Approximations for Stokes Drift: Implications for Coupled Ocean Circulation and Surface Wave Models

Bulk, Spectral and Deep Water Approximations for Stokes Drift: Implications for Coupled Ocean Circulation and Surface Wave Models

Abstract Surface waves modify upper ocean dynamics through Stokes drift related processes. Stokes drift estimated from a discrete wave spectrum is compared to Stokes drift approximations as a monochromatic profile based on bulk surface wave parameters, and to two additional superexponential function...
