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): “Drennan et al. (2005) clearly showed that empirical relations derived for deep water conditions were unable to reproduce the Risø Air-Sea Exchange (RASEX) shallow water wind stresses, because these simple analytical expressions do not include mechanical constraints on the wind stress, i.”
Air-Sea Fluxes With a Focus on Heat and Momentum (2019, background): “However, understanding the relation between the roughness parameter and the sea state, and likewise the effect of sea state on the relative winds, remains an area of active research (e.g., Liu et al., 1979; Large and Pond, 1981; Donelan et al., 1993; Fairall et al., 1996b, 2003; Mahrt et al., 1996; ”
