Parameterization of the wind stress--drag--over the sea is imperative to many elements of air-sea interplay, which in flip is essential for versions of climate prediction and weather modeling. Wind tension over the sea brings jointly thirty of the world's top specialists in air-sea interplay, lower than the auspices of the medical Committee on Oceanic examine.

Good examples of the three manifestations of wind action on the sea surface are found inthose regions where the Gulf Stream and the Labrador current meet in the Atlantic and the Kuroshio and Oyashio meet in the Pacific (discontinuities, fronts, or “cold walls”). The wind action manifestations are: pure drift resulting directly from the entraining action of the wind; gradient current produced by the slope of the free surface of the sea and the adjustment of the water density field; and convective current resulting from mass transport in a wind-driven current.
