Bulk Parameterization of Air–Sea Fluxes: Updates and Verification for the COARE Algorithm

TL;DR: The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) bulk algorithm was published in 1996, and it has become one of the most frequently used algorithms in the air-sea interaction community.

Sonic anemometer tilt correction algorithms

TL;DR: In this paper, the sensitivity of anemometer-derived stress estimates to the tilt of the anemometers is investigated, and three methods for determining the tilt angles relative to a mean streamline coordinate system and for computing the tilt-corrected stresses are compared.

Turbulence in plant canopies

TL;DR: In this article, the mean velocity profile is inflected, second moments are strongly inhomogeneous with height, skewnesses are large, and second-moment budgets are far from local equilibrium.
