A global wave parameter database for geophysical applications. Part 1: Wave-current turbulence interaction parameters for the open ocean based on traditional parameterizations (2008, background): “, 2008a), resulting in a wave-driven wind (Grachev et al., 2003).”
Dynamics of Winds and Currents Coupled to Surface Waves (2010, background): “Surface observations by Grachev et al. (2003) show the stress vector may deviate widely from the mean wind flow, including cases in which stress is directed across and even opposite to the wind when Ua < 5 m s−1 or less.”
Numerical modeling of ocean swell contributions to the global wind-wave climate (2006, background): “Studies conducted over the last three decades have expanded these initial insights, revealing that the presence of swell affects several important processes at the air–sea interface, such as the modulation, blockage and suppression of short wind-generated waves (Donelan, 1987; Shyu and Phillips, 199”
Effect of Surface Waves on Air–Sea Momentum Exchange. Part II: Behavior of Drag Coefficient under Tropical Cyclones (2004, methodology): “The misaligned waves may influence both the magnitude of the wind stress and the angle between the wind stress and the mean wind (Smith 1980; Geernaert 1988; Rieder et al. 1994; Bourassa et al. 1999; Grachev et al. 2003).”
On the exchange of momentum over the open ocean (2013, unknown): “The impact of the upward momentum ﬂux has been investigated in a number of studies including those by Drennan et al. (1999), Smedman et al. (1994, 1999, 2003), Grachev and Fairall (2001), Grachev et al. (2003), and Hanley and Belcher (2008).”
