Surface Drag Coefficient

The Surface Drag Coefficient is a dimensionless parameter in atmospheric boundary layer meteorology that quantifies the ratio of surface shear stress to the product of air density and the square of wind speed, serving as a measure of the resistance exerted by the Earth's surface on the overlying flow.
