For the computation of surface currents, a general circulation model is forced with surface winds. A study by Pacanowski (1987) shows that including ocean current velocity through relative wind stress in an Atlantic circulation model reduces the surface currents by 30%. This decrease in surface current can impact sea surface temperature and upwelling along the equator. However, the greatest impact of including ocean currents in the air-sea stress is in the calculation of Power input to the general circulation, with the mechanism as described above. An additional effect of the computation with relative wind stress instead of resting ocean wind stress leads to a lower Residual Meridional Overturning Circulation in models.

Figure 4 shows the difference between relative wind stress and resting ocean wind stress. Data for relative wind stress is obtained from scatterometers. These accurately represent the relative wind stress as they measure backscatter from small-scale structures on the ocean surface, which respond to the sea surface-air interface and not to wind speed.

Overestimations of power input into the ocean in models have been identified when using wind stress calculated from zonal mean wind instead of relative wind stress, ranging between 20-35%. In regions where wind speeds are relatively low and current speeds relatively high this effect is the greatest. An example is the tropical Pacific ocean where trade winds blow with 5-9m/s and the ocean current velocities can exceed 1m/s. In this region, depending on if it is an El Niño or La Niña state, the wind stress difference (resting ocean wind stress minus relative wind stress) can vary between negative and positive, respectively.

In the Southern Ocean, the use of relative wind stress is important because eddies are crucial in the Antarctic Circumpolar Circulation, and the damping of these eddies with relative wind stress will affect the overturning circulation. The Residual Meridional Overturning Circulation (RMOC), is a streamfunction that quantifies the transport of tracers across isopycnals. Wind stress is taken into account through the formulation of the RMOC, which is the sum of the Eulerian mean MOC formula_31 and eddy-induced bolus overturning formula_32. The Eulerian mean MOC is dependent on the meridional winds that drive Ekman transport in zonal direction. The eddy-induced bolus overturning acts to restore sloping isopycnals to the horizontal, which are induced by eddies. The formulation of the RMOC is given by:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=70285102
2,244,004
with formula_34 being the zonal mean wind stress, formula_35 the reference density, formula_36 the Coriolis parameter (negative in Southern Hemisphere), formula_37 the quasi-Stokes eddy diffusivity field, equal to formula_38 being the length and the velocity of the eddy, respectively, and formula_39 the slope of the isopycnals.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=70285102
2,244,005
Inserting a lower wind stress, by using relative wind stress instead of resting ocean wind stress, directly leads to lower residual overturning, by reducing the Eulerian mean MOC (formula_31). Furthermore, it affects the eddy-induced bolus overturning (formula_32) by damping eddies which results in reduced length and velocity scale (formula_42 & formula_43) of eddies. The sum of this thus leads to a lower formula_44.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=70285102
2,244,006
As briefly mentioned in "Section: Impact on Models for large-scale Ocean Circulation", the surface currents can be calculated by forcing surface winds into a general circulation model. The case of a model which is also forced by relative wind stress can be visualized in Figure 5. Firstly, the satellite data is used to input the 10m wind velocity into the calculation of the relative wind stress. However, if the parameterization for relative wind stress is used, this will result in a coupled problem. The ocean model requires the relative wind stress formula_45 to output the ocean current velocity, which in turn the calculation of formula_45 relies on. This coupled system needs to be formulated as an inverse problem.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=70285102
2,244,007
Another consequence is that, depending on the parameterization used for the wind stress, a different vector field will be inputted into the ocean model and, consequently, a different value of formula_17 will be outputted by the ocean model. Therefore, if a different wind field formula_17 is used for the calculations of formula_49 and formula_50 then it could be that formula_51. In other words, there may be a negative bias when calculating the work done on the ocean using the resting ocean approximation. On the global scale, however, the literature has found an over rather than underestimation, as previously mentioned.

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter a maximum of 4 boats, 1 per event. As hosts, China was given the maximum quota of 4, but since they did not compete in any of the qualification events, the spots were reallocated. An extra additional spot was created in the girls' Techno 293 event and given to China. A further 8, 2 in each event, was decided by the Tripartite Commission. The remaining 88 places were allocated based on qualification events, namely the 2013 World Championships and six continental qualification tournaments for each boat. If a country declined a spot or if there were spots that remained unfilled after the qualification event, the quota was reallocated to another nation, with priority going to nations that had not qualified for any sailing events.

Only the lowest portion of the interior is flooded, however, and much of the inner wall of the rim remains uncovered. The inner wall is narrower along the northern edge where the crater overlies Maxwell. There is also slumped material along the base of the inner wall.
