On the exchange of momentum over the open ocean (2013, unknown): “Similar behavior was reported in Taylor and Yelland (2001) for data collected during the Humidity Exchange Over the Sea (HEXOS; Smith et al. 1992) and Storm Wave Study experiments (SWS-2; Dobson et al. 1994, 1999).”
Whitecap coverage from satellite measurements: A first step toward modeling the variability of oceanic whitecaps (2006, background): “A large body of recent publications argues that wavefield characteristics must be explicitly included in z0 for better results [Donelan et al., 1993; Fairall et al., 2000; Taylor and Yelland, 2001; Bourassa, 2004].”
Assessment of the reliability of wave observations from voluntary observing ships: Insights from the validation of a global wind wave climatology based on voluntary observing ship data (2003, methodology): “Using data from NDBC buoys, Wilkerson and Earle [1990] found a mean underestimation of VOS wave periods of about 0.”
The Probability Distribution of Sea Surface Wind Speeds. Part I: Theory and SeaWinds Observations (2006, methodology): “…the effects of stratification and swell and consider the parameterization of the neutral drag coefficient for fully developed seas introduced by Taylor and Yelland (2001), as modified in Fairall et al. (2003) to include a correction for flow over an aerodynamically smooth surface during…”
Bulk Parameterization of Air–Sea Fluxes: Updates and Verification for the COARE Algorithm (2003, methodology): “The ﬁrst relationship is from Taylor and Yelland (2001): where h s is the signiﬁcant wave height (mean height of the upper third of the height distribution that is approximately 4 times the rms surface elevation at a point) and L p the wavelength associated with the peak of the wave frequency–size…”
Seasonality and long‐term trend of Arctic Ocean surface stress in a model (2014, background): “Further, the air drag over ice and open water vary for different reasons, e.g., ocean surface waves increase the drag as a function of wind speed [e.g., Taylor and Yelland, 2001], whereas surface roughness of sea ice is a function of its age and deformation state [Guest and Davidson, 1991].”
A comparison of surface layer and surface turbulent flux observations over the Labrador Sea with ECMWF analyses and NCEP reanalyses (2000, background): “In reality the Charnock constant is not a constant, but is related to wave height and steepness (e.g., Komen et al. 1998; Taylor and Yelland 2001), so the choice of a single suitable constant aC is somewhat arbitrary.”
