TL;DR: Belcher et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that current parameterizations of this turbulent mixing lead to systematic and substantial errors in the depth of the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) in global climate models, which then leads to biases in sea surface temperature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the global distribution of the inverse wave age was calculated to determine whether there are regions of the ocean that are usually in the wind-driven wave regime and others that are generally in the wave-driven wind regime.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the storm morphology in the model and reality which show that the simulated storms become smaller as grid length decreases and that the grid length that fits the observations best changes with the size of the observed cells.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define the first Regional Atmosphere and Land (RAL) science configuration for kilometre-scale modelling using the Unified Model (UM) as the basis for the atmosphere and the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) for the land.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of upward momentum transfer on the marine atmospheric boundary layer using idealized models that solve the momentum budget above the ocean surface and showed that although the momentum flux due to the waves penetrates only a small fraction of the depth of the boundary layer, the wind profile is profoundly changed through its whole depth.
