AbstractWe present a review of existing wind-wave coupling models and parameterizations used for large-eddy simulation of the marine atmospheric boundary layer. The models are classified into two main categories: (i) the wave phaseaveraged, sea-surface-roughness models and (ii) the wave phase-resolved models. Both categories are discussed from their implementation, validity, and computational efficiency viewpoints with emphasis given on their applicability in offshore wind energy problems. In addition to the various models discussed, a review of laboratory-scale and field-measurement databases are presented thereafter. The majority of the presented data have been gathered over many decades of studying air-sea interaction phenomena, with the most recent ones compiled to reflect an offshore wind energy perspective. Both provide valuable data for model validation. Finally, we also discuss the modeling knowledge gaps and computational challenges ahead.
