The dependence of the aerodynamic drag coefficient on wave parameters / by Mark A. Donelan.: En36-522/123-1982E-PDF

"Calculations of wind-driven storm surges and lake circulations require a good estimate of the surface drag coefficient. This coefficient is not constant but is also a function of the waves. Combined with an adequate wave prediction method, this paper provides a reliable means to estimate the drag coefficient, providing for the first time a real advance in the computation of wind set up, lake circulation and surface currents"--Management perspective, page i.
