Computational study demonstrates increased wind drag force over coastal waves, indicating wave shoaling strongly influences regional weather and climate forecasting models.
The resistance drag force acting on the wind by ocean waves plays a critical role in weather and climate forecasting. With the aid of computer simulation, we investigate the difference between the drag force caused by open sea waves and that by coastal waves. Our results show that the increased drag in the coastal region is closely related to the slowing down of waves in a physical process called wave shoaling.
