Air-Sea Temperature Difference Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Air-Sea Temperature Difference = (Air Temperature-Water Temperature)
ΔT = (T_a-T_s)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Air-Sea Temperature Difference - (Measured in Kelvin) - Air-Sea Temperature Difference of the region under consideration, evaporation is greater with lower humidity in the air, increasing the temperature difference.
Air Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Air Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold the air is.
Water Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Water Temperature is a physical property expressing how hot or cold water is.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Air Temperature: 303 Kelvin --> 303 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Water Temperature: 248 Kelvin --> 248 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ΔT = (T_a-T_s) --> (303-248)

Evaluating ... ...

ΔT = 55

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

55 Kelvin --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

55 Kelvin <-- Air-Sea Temperature Difference

Wind Speed at Height z above Surface

LaTeX Go Wind Speed = (Friction Velocity/Von Kármán Constant)*ln(Height z above Surface/Roughness Height of Surface)

Wind Speed at Height z above Surface given Standard Reference Wind Speed

LaTeX Go Wind Speed = Wind Speed at Height of 10 m/(10/Height z above Surface)^(1/7)

Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level

LaTeX Go Wind Speed at Height of 10 m = Wind Speed*(10/Height z above Surface)^(1/7)

Height z above Surface given Standard Reference Wind Speed

LaTeX Go Height z above Surface = 10/(Wind Speed at Height of 10 m/Wind Speed)^7

What is 10m wind?

Surface wind is the wind blowing near the Earth's surface. The wind 10m chart displays the modelled average wind vector 10 m above the ground for every grid point of the model (ca. every 80 km). Generally, the actually observed wind velocity at 10 m above ground is a little bit lower than the modelled one.

What is Geostrophic Wind?

The Geostrophic wind is a theoretical wind speed that results from a balance between the Coriolis force and the pressure-gradient force, concepts explored in greater detail in later readings.

How to Calculate Air-Sea Temperature Difference?

Air-Sea Temperature Difference calculator uses Air-Sea Temperature Difference = (Air Temperature-Water Temperature) to calculate the Air-Sea Temperature Difference, The Air-Sea Temperature Difference formula is defined as the difference between the two parameters influenced by coupling that enhances the northward propagation through the changes of the mean vertical wind shear and low-level specific humidity. Air-Sea Temperature Difference is denoted by ΔT symbol.
