Key Equations

$$\vec{\tau} = \rho_a C_D |\vec{U}_{10}| \vec{U}_{10}$$
$$\rho c_p h_m \frac{\partial T_s}{\partial t} = Q_{\text{net}} - \rho c_p h_m (\vec{u} \cdot \nabla T_s) + \text{entrainment} + \text{diffusion}$$
$$\Delta T_{\text{wake}} \sim -1 \text{ to } -5\text{°C}$$
$$U(z) = \frac{u_*}{\kappa}\left[\ln\frac{z}{z_0} - \Psi_m\left(\frac{z}{L}\right)\right]$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
