Surface gravity wave effects in the oceanic boundary layer: large-eddy simulation with vortex force and stochastic breakers (2007, background): “Past LES typically estimate uSt (z) from monochromatic wave fields (Skyllingstad & Denbo 1995; McWilliams et al. 1997; Noh et al. 2004) chosen to approximate a dominant component in the wave spectrum (the work described by Polton et al. (2004) is an exception).”
Dynamics of Winds and Currents Coupled to Surface Waves (2010, background): “Empirical wind and wave estimates indicate the Coriolis-Stokes effect is an appreciable influence on the mean Ekman current profile in the OBL over most of the globe, and especially in high latitudes with high winds (McWilliams et al. 2004, Polton et al. 2005).”
Surface Wave Effects in the NEMO Ocean Model: Forced and Coupled Experiments (2015, background): “…or the Hasselmann force depending on whether it is considered to be purely an effect of the average Coriolis force acting on a particle with a Lagrangian velocity as given by the mean currents and the waves or as a tilting of the planetary vorticity (Polton et al., 2005; Broström et al., 2014).”
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): “Assuming that the wave field is always fully developed, McWilliams and Restrepo (1999) and Polton et al. (2005) estimated that the mean value of TS could be as large as 40% of the corresponding Ekman transport TE, depending on the latitude.”
Characteristics of Langmuir Turbulence in the Ocean Mixed Layer (2009, methodology): “These variations in the shape of the stress profiles can be understood from mean momentum budget that for horizontally homogeneous conditions, can be written as 1 r ›t ›z 5 ›U ›t 1 f k 3 (U 1 u s ) (5) (e.g., Polton et al. 2005).”
