ocean downscaling using CESM atmospheric forcing

[wei_cheng@noaa_gov]

Hello-,I am trying to run an ocean model (ROMS) using atmospheric forcing from CESM.ROMS uses 10 meter wind vector (u and v components) to calculate wind stress internally. I searchedthe CESM dataportal and only find wind speed at 10m (called "u10"). My question is: is there a wayto extrapolate the wind vector (u and v) from CAM's 1st level down to 10m? I could use the ratio between"u10" and wind speed at the 1st model level to scale the u and v from the model's 1st level. Not sure ifthis is a good idea... I'd appreciate any input!
Best,Wei
