<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Wind stress is calculated according to a quadratic friction law:<br />
<br />
<math>\overrightarrow{{\tau_w}} = C_D \cdot \rho_a \cdot \overrightarrow{W}|\overrightarrow{W}|</math> <br />
<br />
where <math>C_D</math> is a drag coefficient that is function of the wind speed, <math>\rho_{a}</math> is air density and <math>\overrightarrow{W}</math> is the wind speed at a height of 10 m over the sea surface.<br />
