      ONSHORE (INLAND) vs. OFFSHORE (MARINE)
      Marine winds are fundamentally different from inland winds in four principal ways:

       ‣ Water surface moves in three dimensions      ‣ Numerical models handle both high

      MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS
      Height extension

      ‣ Higher moisture content of marine air masses
          >> Lower lifting condensation level (LCL) than continental air masses
          >> Marine boundary layer (MBL) is rather shallow compared to continental
          air masses
      ‣ However, convective marine and stratocumulus topped boundary layers have
          active mixing processes. Both often provide moisture to the atmosphere from
          evaporation and simultaneously deepen by entrainment and mixing.

      Frictional Influences

      Lower frictional interactions impact wind direction


      ‣ For the same geostrophic forcing, winds over the water will have a different
        direction than those same winds found over land.
      ‣ Frictional effects result in the over-water winds not having as much of a
        cross-isobar direction as those over land.
      ‣ It is more likely that winds will be geostrophic and of a greater speed than a
        comparable setting over land (exception: high seas conditions).

      Sea Surface Temperatures (SST)

      Relatively unchanging sea surface temperature on diurnal time scales impacts
      lapse rates


      ‣ SSTs varies much less in space and time than temperatures over land.
      ‣ The ocean is also a nearly unlimited energy source and energy sink.
      ‣ Combined, these two attributes can quickly serve to modify the temperature
        and relative humidity of the MBL when air masses move off-shore.
      ‣ Over open water, the same properties generally create a much smaller
        diurnal oscillation in air temperature.
      ‣ Negative lapse rates (i.e., an inversion) due to nocturnal radiation cooling
        that are often seen over land are seldom experienced over the ocean.

      Momentum Transfer

      ... and the dynamics involved in creating waves

      ‣ Winds over the ocean are in contact with a moving surface into which they
        impart momentum resulting in wave generation.
      ‣ In turn, the sea surface roughness influences the surface wind.
      ‣ Marine winds are highly subject to boundary-layer processes such as
        mechanical and convective turbulence as well as stratification, and these
        processes control the momentum transfer into wave energy.

      MBL Issues in NWP
      Most of current NWP models have high vertical resolution in the boundary layer
      (up to 15 levels)

      But: Main errors in model BL profiles of wind, temperature, and dewpoint can be
           attributed to turbulence and convective parameterizations

      Further limitations:
      ‣ Simple algorithms for wind-wave coupling
      ‣ Lack of real-time data for model initialization (> data assimilation, > remote
        sensing)

                          poor resolution of near-surface variables
                          forecast winds (and waves) are often erroneous during both stability

      MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS
      MBL affects surface wind speed and direction differently
      than over land


      ‣ Friction at the ocean surface is the direct result of the transfer of turbulent
            kinetic energy (hence related to speed squared) from the wind field to the sea
            surface and wave field
      ‣ Magnitude of friction is dependent on stability and whether mechanical
            turbulence and/or convective turbulent processes are involved
      ‣ Stability is crucial in determining the wind-wave frictional coupling

      Turbulence (II)

      Thermal (convective) Turbulence
             ‣ Due to rising plumes of warm air and compensating downdrafts
             ‣ Range from 100 to more than 1000 m height
             ‣ Stability is the main factor for the depth of frictional coupling in the MBL
                  due to convective turbulence
             ‣ Stratified lower atmosphere: Mixing is minimal and the surface air mass
                  will be decoupled from the winds aloft
             ‣ Unstratified (i.e. unstable) atmosphere: Mixing couples winds aloft to the
                  surface
             ‣ Temperature difference between rather constant SST and temperature of
                  overlying air mass is primary factor impacting stability over water

      DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MARINE AND
      CONTINENTAL ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY
      LAYERS (I)
      ‣ Near-surface air is always moist, relative humidity typically ~ 75–100%
      ‣ Weak diurnal cycle, since surface energy fluxes distribute over a large depth
        (10–100+ m) of water (large heat capacity!)
      ‣ Small air-sea temperature differences, except near coasts. Air is typically 0–2
        K cooler than the water due to radiative cooling and advection, except for
        strong winds or large sea-surface temperature (SST) gradients.
      ‣ The MBL air is usually radiatively cooling at 1–2 K/day, and some of this heat
        is supplied by sensible heat fluxes off the ocean surface. If the air is much
        colder than the SST, vigorous convection will quickly reduce the temperature
        difference.

      DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MARINE AND
      CONTINENTAL ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY
      LAYERS (II)
      ‣ Small ‘Bowen ratio’ of sensible to latent heat flux due to the small air-sea
        temperature difference:
        latent heat fluxes: ~ 50–200 Wm-2, sensible heat fluxes: ~ 0–30 Wm -2
      ‣ Most of marine boundary layers include clouds.
            Excepting near coasts, when warm, dry continental air advects over a colder
            ocean, tending to produce a more stable shear-driven BL which does not
            deepen to the LCL of surface air.
            Clouds can greatly affect MBL dynamics. It also affects the surface and top-
            of-atmosphere energy balance and the SST.

      AIR-SEA MOMENTUM TRANSFER
      Basics
      ‣ When mean flow momentum ρu varies in the vertical, fluctuating vertical eddy motions
        of velocity w′ transport faster fluid from the momentum-rich region, which locally
        appears as excess velocity, positive u′.
      ‣ Averaged, the effects of these eddy motions add up to eddy transport of momentum,
        ρu′w′, (Reynolds flux of momentum or Reynolds stress)
      ‣ From the similarity principle of turbulence, the Reynolds stresses should be proportional
        to density times the square of the velocity scale: −ρu′w′ = const.ρu′2
        (with velocity scale ( (u′2) ) 1/2)
      ‣ Other reasonable choice for the velocity scale is the “friction velocity” u* = (-u′w′) 1/2
      ‣ Particularly useful for low level airflow where the Reynolds stress is nearly constant and
        differs little from τi , the effective shear force on the interface, e.g., the momentum flux
        from air to water: u* = (τi/ρ) 1/2

      CHARNOCK‘s RELATION FOR WAVE INFLUENCE
      H. Charnock: Wind stress on a water surface. Quart. J. Roy. Meteorol. Soc. 639–
      640, 1955.

      ‣ Charnock suggested that the roughness length of airflow over ocean waves
        should depend on acceleration of gravity g and surface stress/friction
        velocity u* ~ τ1/2
      ‣ Dimensional considerations then gave rise to the Charnock relation for the
        roughness length
      ‣ Assumption: Sea state is completely determined by the local friction velocity
        u∗
                                                u2

                                                 g
      ‣ Ac is a „constant“.
            But is actually not constant and depends on local state of sea. For the open
            ocean usually a value of Ac = 0.011 is generally used. In the coastal sea
            around Denmark a value of Ac = 0.018 has been found (Johnson et al., 1998).

      CHARNOCK‘s RELATION
      Dependence on Fetch (Johnson et al., 1998)
      ‣ z0 shows a dependence on wave age (the ratio between the phase speed of the
        dominant wave (c) and u*)

      ‣ The dependence on (inverse) wave age is often formulated as

                                          Ac = α(u∗ /c)β
            with α=1.89 and β=1.59.

      ‣ A fetch-dependent variation of c is:
                                                2π xg 1/3
                                         c/u∗ =    (    )
                                                3.5 U10
            with the fetch x and U10, the wind speed at 10 m height.

      ‣ A modification for all fetches leads to
                                                     (u∗ /c)β
            with γ=69.                    Ac = α

      CHARNOCK‘s RELATION
      ‣ Charnock‘s formula is reasonably accurate for 10 m wind speeds of 4–50
        ms-1.
      ‣ For 10m wind speeds of 5–10 ms-1, this gives roughness lengths of 0.1–1
        mm, much less than almost any land surface. Even the heavy seas under in a
        tropical storm have a roughness length less than mown grass!
      ‣ This is because (a) the large waves move along with the wind, and (b) drag
        seems to mainly be due to the vertical displacements involved directly in
        breaking, rather than by the much larger amplitude longs well.
      ‣ The result is that near-surface wind speeds tend to be much higher over the
        ocean, while surface drag tends to be smaller over the ocean than over land
        surfaces.

      SENSIBLE AND LATENT HEAT TRANSFER AT
      THE AIR-SEA INTERFACE
      ‣ Usually heat transfer proceeds from the ocean to the atmosphere (only under rare
        conditions in reverse) as “sensible” and latent heat transfer via the molecular
        processes of conduction and diffusion
      ‣ Sensible heat raises or lowers air temperature
      ‣ Bulk of heat transfer from the sea to the atmosphere occurs via evaporation and the
        attendant transfer of latent heat
      ‣ In turbulent flow, Reynolds fluxes of temperature w′θ′ and of humidity w′q′ are the
        main vehicles of heat and vapor transport to or from the interface on the air side
      ‣ But: Different from momentum transfer molecular conduction or diffusion has to
        perform the transfer at the interface
        >> conductive or diffusive boundary layers confined by eddy motion
      ‣ This results in a complex interplay among molecular conduction and diffusion, wind
        waves, and the eddies of the turbulent air flow

      SENSIBLE AND LATENT HEAT TRANSFER AT
      THE AIR-SEA INTERFACE
      ‣ In the constant stress layer, Reynolds fluxes of heat and humidity, w′θ′ and
        w′q′, are (very nearly) equal to the mean interface fluxes Qi/ρacpa and E/ρa
        (also a constant flux layer)
      ‣ Gradients of mean temperature then depend only on the temperature flux and
        the two scales of turbulence:
                                   dθ/dz = f(w′θ′,u∗,z)
      ‣ Heat transfer law, connecting interface flux (through the temperature scale
        θ∗=−w′θ′/u∗)
        to the temperature excess/deficiency θ(h)−θs:

                                      (θ(h) − θs) / θ∗ = κ−1 ln(h/zt)
             with zt analogue to z0 for the momentum transfer

      VERTICAL WIND PROFILE OVER SEA


      ‣ Generally, Monin-Obukhov theory has been found to be applicable over open
        sea
        (although developed over land...)
      ‣ We need: homogeneous and stationary flow conditions
                              u∗     z        z
                       u(z) =    [ln( ) − Ψm ( )]
                              κ      z0       L

      ‣ Coastal areas show strong inhomogeneities due to
         – roughness change at coastline
         – heat flux change through different surfaces
      ‣ Common example: Warm air advection over cold water (> well-mixed layer
        below an inversion)
      ‣ Systematic deviations from Monin-Obukhov theory at offshore sites expected!

OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS Height extension ‣ Higher moisture content of marine air masses >> Lower lifting condensation level (LCL) than continental air masses >> Marine boundary layer (MBL) is rather shallow compared to continental air masses ‣ However, convective marine and stratocumulus topped boundary layers have active mixing processes. Both often provide moisture to the atmosphere from evaporation and simultaneously deepen by entrainment and mixing. Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2011
  • 9. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS Frictional Influences Lower frictional interactions impact wind direction ‣ For the same geostrophic forcing, winds over the water will have a different direction than those same winds found over land. ‣ Frictional effects result in the over-water winds not having as much of a cross-isobar direction as those over land. ‣ It is more likely that winds will be geostrophic and of a greater speed than a comparable setting over land (exception: high seas conditions).

  • 10. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) Relatively unchanging sea surface temperature on diurnal time scales impacts lapse rates ‣ SSTs varies much less in space and time than temperatures over land. ‣ The ocean is also a nearly unlimited energy source and energy sink. ‣ Combined, these two attributes can quickly serve to modify the temperature and relative humidity of the MBL when air masses move off-shore. ‣ Over open water, the same properties generally create a much smaller diurnal oscillation in air temperature. ‣ Negative lapse rates (i.e., an inversion) due to nocturnal radiation cooling that are often seen over land are seldom experienced over the ocean.

  • 11. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS Momentum Transfer ... and the dynamics involved in creating waves ‣ Winds over the ocean are in contact with a moving surface into which they impart momentum resulting in wave generation. ‣ In turn, the sea surface roughness influences the surface wind. ‣ Marine winds are highly subject to boundary-layer processes such as mechanical and convective turbulence as well as stratification, and these processes control the momentum transfer into wave energy.

  • 12. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS MBL Issues in NWP Most of current NWP models have high vertical resolution in the boundary layer (up to 15 levels) But: Main errors in model BL profiles of wind, temperature, and dewpoint can be attributed to turbulence and convective parameterizations Further limitations: ‣ Simple algorithms for wind-wave coupling ‣ Lack of real-time data for model initialization (> data assimilation, > remote sensing) poor resolution of near-surface variables forecast winds (and waves) are often erroneous during both stability extremes in the MBL Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2011
  • 13. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS MBL affects surface wind speed and direction differently than over land ‣ Friction at the ocean surface is the direct result of the transfer of turbulent kinetic energy (hence related to speed squared) from the wind field to the sea surface and wave field ‣ Magnitude of friction is dependent on stability and whether mechanical turbulence and/or convective turbulent processes are involved ‣ Stability is crucial in determining the wind-wave frictional coupling Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2011
  • 14. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS MBL affects surface wind speed and direction differently than over land Friction shifts the wind away from geostrophic flow creating cross-contour flow toward lower pressure. The effects of the frictional force diminish with height until the wind is in a non-frictional dynamic state > geostrophic flow at the top of the boundary layer With less friction over sea, winds at the surface are stronger, more consistent Balance of boundary layer flow and more geostrophic in both speed The pressure gradient force Fp,h is balanced by the sum and direction as over land given the of the Coriolis force Fc,h and the friction force Ffr. same atmospheric conditions.

  • 15. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS Turbulence (I) Mechanical Turbulence ‣ through interaction of the wind and surface air mass with sea surface waves ‣ Resulting eddies formed by the rising and falling sea surface can extend vertically for tens of meters. ‣ Extent of eddies based on wave height and vertical near-surface wind shear Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2011
  • 16. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS Turbulence (II) Thermal (convective) Turbulence ‣ Due to rising plumes of warm air and compensating downdrafts ‣ Range from 100 to more than 1000 m height ‣ Stability is the main factor for the depth of frictional coupling in the MBL due to convective turbulence ‣ Stratified lower atmosphere: Mixing is minimal and the surface air mass will be decoupled from the winds aloft ‣ Unstratified (i.e. unstable) atmosphere: Mixing couples winds aloft to the surface ‣ Temperature difference between rather constant SST and temperature of overlying air mass is primary factor impacting stability over water Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2011
  • 17. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MARINE AND CONTINENTAL ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYERS (I) ‣ Near-surface air is always moist, relative humidity typically ~ 75–100% ‣ Weak diurnal cycle, since surface energy fluxes distribute over a large depth (10–100+ m) of water (large heat capacity!) ‣ Small air-sea temperature differences, except near coasts. Air is typically 0–2 K cooler than the water due to radiative cooling and advection, except for strong winds or large sea-surface temperature (SST) gradients. ‣ The MBL air is usually radiatively cooling at 1–2 K/day, and some of this heat is supplied by sensible heat fluxes off the ocean surface. If the air is much colder than the SST, vigorous convection will quickly reduce the temperature difference. Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2011
  • 18. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MARINE AND CONTINENTAL ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYERS (II) ‣ Small ‘Bowen ratio’ of sensible to latent heat flux due to the small air-sea temperature difference: latent heat fluxes: ~ 50–200 Wm-2, sensible heat fluxes: ~ 0–30 Wm -2 ‣ Most of marine boundary layers include clouds. Excepting near coasts, when warm, dry continental air advects over a colder ocean, tending to produce a more stable shear-driven BL which does not deepen to the LCL of surface air. Clouds can greatly affect MBL dynamics. It also affects the surface and top- of-atmosphere energy balance and the SST. Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2011

OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY AIR-SEA MOMENTUM TRANSFER Basics ‣ When mean flow momentum ρu varies in the vertical, fluctuating vertical eddy motions of velocity w′ transport faster fluid from the momentum-rich region, which locally appears as excess velocity, positive u′. ‣ Averaged, the effects of these eddy motions add up to eddy transport of momentum, ρu′w′, (Reynolds flux of momentum or Reynolds stress) ‣ From the similarity principle of turbulence, the Reynolds stresses should be proportional to density times the square of the velocity scale: −ρu′w′ = const.ρu′2 (with velocity scale ( (u′2) ) 1/2) ‣ Other reasonable choice for the velocity scale is the “friction velocity” u* = (-u′w′) 1/2 ‣ Particularly useful for low level airflow where the Reynolds stress is nearly constant and differs little from τi , the effective shear force on the interface, e.g., the momentum flux from air to water: u* = (τi/ρ) 1/2 Mittwoch, 15.

  • 21. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY CHARNOCK‘s RELATION FOR WAVE INFLUENCE H. Charnock: Wind stress on a water surface. Quart. J. Roy. Meteorol. Soc. 639– 640, 1955. ‣ Charnock suggested that the roughness length of airflow over ocean waves should depend on acceleration of gravity g and surface stress/friction velocity u* ~ τ1/2 ‣ Dimensional considerations then gave rise to the Charnock relation for the roughness length ‣ Assumption: Sea state is completely determined by the local friction velocity u∗ u2 z 0 = Ac ∗ g ‣ Ac is a „constant“. But is actually not constant and depends on local state of sea. For the open ocean usually a value of Ac = 0.011 is generally used. In the coastal sea around Denmark a value of Ac = 0.018 has been found (Johnson et al., 1998). Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2011
  • 22. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY CHARNOCK‘s RELATION Dependence on Fetch (Johnson et al., 1998) ‣ z0 shows a dependence on wave age (the ratio between the phase speed of the dominant wave (c) and u*) ‣ The dependence on (inverse) wave age is often formulated as Ac = α(u∗ /c)β with α=1.89 and β=1.59. ‣ A fetch-dependent variation of c is: 2π xg 1/3 c/u∗ = ( ) 3.5 U10 with the fetch x and U10, the wind speed at 10 m height. ‣ A modification for all fetches leads to (u∗ /c)β with γ=69. Ac = α 1 + γ(u∗ /c)β+2 Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2011

  • 26. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY CHARNOCK‘s RELATION ‣ Charnock‘s formula is reasonably accurate for 10 m wind speeds of 4–50 ms-1. ‣ For 10m wind speeds of 5–10 ms-1, this gives roughness lengths of 0.1–1 mm, much less than almost any land surface. Even the heavy seas under in a tropical storm have a roughness length less than mown grass! ‣ This is because (a) the large waves move along with the wind, and (b) drag seems to mainly be due to the vertical displacements involved directly in breaking, rather than by the much larger amplitude longs well. ‣ The result is that near-surface wind speeds tend to be much higher over the ocean, while surface drag tends to be smaller over the ocean than over land surfaces.

  • 27. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY SENSIBLE AND LATENT HEAT TRANSFER AT THE AIR-SEA INTERFACE ‣ Usually heat transfer proceeds from the ocean to the atmosphere (only under rare conditions in reverse) as “sensible” and latent heat transfer via the molecular processes of conduction and diffusion ‣ Sensible heat raises or lowers air temperature ‣ Bulk of heat transfer from the sea to the atmosphere occurs via evaporation and the attendant transfer of latent heat ‣ In turbulent flow, Reynolds fluxes of temperature w′θ′ and of humidity w′q′ are the main vehicles of heat and vapor transport to or from the interface on the air side ‣ But: Different from momentum transfer molecular conduction or diffusion has to perform the transfer at the interface >> conductive or diffusive boundary layers confined by eddy motion ‣ This results in a complex interplay among molecular conduction and diffusion, wind waves, and the eddies of the turbulent air flow Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2011
  • 28. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY METEOROLOGY SENSIBLE AND LATENT HEAT TRANSFER AT THE AIR-SEA INTERFACE ‣ In the constant stress layer, Reynolds fluxes of heat and humidity, w′θ′ and w′q′, are (very nearly) equal to the mean interface fluxes Qi/ρacpa and E/ρa (also a constant flux layer) ‣ Gradients of mean temperature then depend only on the temperature flux and the two scales of turbulence: dθ/dz = f(w′θ′,u∗,z) ‣ Heat transfer law, connecting interface flux (through the temperature scale θ∗=−w′θ′/u∗) to the temperature excess/deficiency θ(h)−θs: (θ(h) − θs) / θ∗ = κ−1 ln(h/zt) with zt analogue to z0 for the momentum transfer ‣ Same for humidity...
