translate English to French: 2. in conditions of strong static stability and low wind speeds, turbulence cannot be maintained and the solution of the formulations does not converge 3. the surface layer formulations are found to be valid at heights up to 65 m above the surface 4. the formulations are not applicable in water depths less than 50 m, short fetches from the shore, coast, or ice boundary, and in rapidly varying, transient wind conditions During the September 2004 field program there were a few instances of highly stable surface boundary conditions (item 2) for which the adjustment solution did not converge.
Il faut noter qu’à l’intérieur de la couche limite de l’atmosphère à la surface de l’eau, la direction du vent ne varie pas avec l’altitude et qu’aucune correction n’est requise. Smith (1988) traite en détail des limitations des formules pour corriger les vitesses du vent à l’intérieur de la couche limite de l’atmosphère à la surface de l’eau.
