average calculated drag coefficients for 2.5 m s('-1) wind speed classes at wind speeds greater than 7.5 m s('-1) increase with wind speed and decrease with atmospheric stability. The average 4 m drag coefficient for neutral conditions and wind speeds greater than 7.5 m s('-1) is 1.81 x 10('-3).

Following the verification of the logarithmic nature of the wind profile and the establishment of a nondimensional expression relating the shear velocity and surface roughness, a Froude number is proposed for scaling the wind-stress at the air-water interface. A correlation curve for wind stresses determined at all fetches is presented and is shown to correlate successfully the available data compiled from 42 independent investigations consisting of 12 laboratory studies and 30 oceanic observations.
