Abstract
We investigate the air-sea momentum flux in the marine atmospheric boundary layer using a tower-based direct measurement method. First, we compare the collected data with previous observations, and the results are roughly consistent. Next, in the low-to-moderate winds, the exchange coefficients (or drag coefficients) deviate between onshore and offshore winds, which exhibits the influence of surface wave on the momentum flux. Furthermore, we use a surface-wave-involved parameterization scheme to explain the dependence of momentum flux on surface wave. The results consolidate the influence of surface wave on momentum flux on the one hand, and validate the surface-wave-involved parameterization scheme on the other hand.
