Frictional skin drag

{
  "id": "MLC-T-MET-005796",
  "term": "Frictional skin drag",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The component of frictional drag that arises from the viscous shear stress at the interface between the moving air and the Earth's surface. It is directly related to the roughness of the surface and the wind speed. This force is a primary mechanism for the transfer of momentum from the atmosphere to the ground.",
