Abstract:Analysis of field and laboratory measurements and theoretical studies was used to establish that the generally adopted logarithmic shape of wind speed profile near the ocean surface does not hold in the presence of waves. It was shown that, under the conditions of developing or developed waves at high wind speed, this profile assumes the form of two logarithmic branches, which join at a large height where wave-induced pulsations of wind speed decay. A model of wind speed profile under these conditions was cons… Show more
