Description:The theory and parameterization methods of small-scale ocean-atmosphere dynamical interaction are discussed. Two different theoretical approaches to the problem are briefly presented. One approach follows the one-dimensional theory proposed by Chalikov and Belevich and the other is Janssen's extension of the Miles' instability theory. Both approaches provide for coupling the lower portion of the marine boundary layer, the wave boundary layer, with the underlying wavy sea surface. The results of applying simplifications of each approach to couple the National Meteorological Center global atmosphere and spectral wave models are illustrated and compared. The effects, although small, are noticeable especially in areas of high winds.
