Golden Globe Ocean Race: The power of the wind at sea and man’s use of this power over time

...c is the constant of proportionality. So if the wind speed increases from 1 m s−1 to 4 m s−1 then wind stress will increase by a factor of 16. This large jump in the wind stress happens because when the winds are weak, the surface of the ocean is relatively flat and there are few wave tops for the wind to push against. As energy is transferred from the wind to the...
