STUDY ON FLUXES OF MOMENTUM AND SENSIBLE HEAT,THE DRAG COEFFICIENT C_D AND ROUGHNESS Z_O

In this paper,fluxes of momentum and sensible heat are discussed with the data callected by tetheredballoon sounding system over the Philippine Sea during the cruise of the R/V SCIENCE 1 from Septem-ber through October in 1987.These fluxes were calculated using the semiempirical flux-profile relationshipsof Monin-Obkhov similarity theory with observed data.The friction velocity U.was determined by theobserved data's least-square fit with the similarity formulae under stable,neutral and unstable conditions.The roughness Z_0 was determined by Z_0=a_1(U./g),then substituted into the similarity formulae to com-pute U.again.The final values of U.and Z_0 could be determined through this iteration.The fluxtemperature θ.was calculated from the temperature profile with Z_0 determined above.Finally the fluxes'of momentum and sensible heat,and the drag coefficient C_D were obtained by computation with U.,θ.and the wind speed(U_(10))at 10 meters above the sea surface.
