Comparing Estimates of Whitecap Coverage From a Spectral Wave Model With Oceanic Observations
Abstract The fractional or percentage whitecap coverage of the ocean surface (W) is often parameterized in terms of wind speed. Data sets of W typically show order of magnitude scatter at a given wind speed value due to sea state variability. Here we compare modeled values of W to measured W values...
