The parametrization of surface fluxes in large‐scale models under free convection
Abstract
This paper investigates the idea of formulating free convection in large‐scale models as a special case of forced convection. In free convection, the wind speed in the surface transfer law is related to the velocity of the large eddies in the mixed layer and is proportional to the convection velocity scale. The empirical coefficient is estimated with the help of large eddy simulation data by Sykes et al. (1993) and the resulting formulation is compared with field data by Stull (1994). This concept is shown to be applicable to smooth ocean surfaces as well as rough land surfaces. It is argued that within this framework, free convection is a natural extension of forced convection and only needs a minor modification of traditional transfer laws.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
