Wind Stresses computation
%
% USAGE: [Tx, Ty]=ra_windstr(u,v)
%
% DESCRIPTION: Function to compute wind stress from wind field data Based on Gill, 1982
% Formula and a non-linear Cd based on Large and Pond (1981), modified for low wind
% speeds (Trenberth et al., 1990)
%
% INPUTS:
% u = Zonal wind component [m/s], must be 2D
% v = Meridional wind component [m/s], must be 2D
%
% OUTPUT:
% Tx = Zonal wind stress [N/m^2]
% Ty = Meridional wind stress [N/m^2]
%
% DISCLAIMER:
% Albeit this function is designed only for academic purpose, it can be implemented in
% research. Nonetheless, author does not guarantee the accuracy.
