Case study of wave dependent drag coefficient in the Baltic Sea

Proper estimation of air flow over sea waves plays a key role in wave, storm surge, wind field prediction. Most hydrological models assume the drag coefficient Cd to be dependent only on the local wind speed. However this is a simplification. As it is known (Smith et al., 1991; Donelan, 1982, 1997;...
