These events also prompted several East Asian littoral governments to recalculate the strategic and national security implications of sovereignty claims made to islands in the South China Sea. The financial turmoil that whipsawed national economies throughout East Asia in 1998 also contributed to exacerbating tensions over conflicting maritime claims in the area.

Drag coefficient (Cd) is an essential metric in the calculation of momentum exchange over the air-sea interface and thus has large impacts on the simulation or forecast of the upper ocean state associated with sea surface winds such as storm surges. Generally, Cd is a function of wind speed. However, the exact relationship between Cd and wind speed is still in dispute, and the widely-used formu...
