摘要: Whitecapping plays an important role in many air-sea exchange and upper ocean processes. Traditionally, whitecap coverage is parameterized as a function of wind speed only. At present, the relative current to considered be parameterization which In this paper, effects surface velocity (current wave induced velocity) parameters on through speeds are investigated, by applying 2-parameter model Atlantic Ocean. It found that impacts both considerable most part interesting effect more significant than current.
