一个计算海天背景的工程模型。由matlab编写

function tau=stresstc(sp,z,Ta,rhoa)
% STRESSTC: computes the neutral wind stress following Smith (1988).
% tau = STRESSTC(sp,z,Ta,rhoa) computes the neutral wind stress given the 
% wind speed and air temperature at height z following Smith (1988),
% J. Geophys. Res., 93, 311-326. Air temperature and density are optional
% inputs. 
%
%   INPUT:  sp    - wind speed   [m/s]
%           z     - measurement height  [m]
%           Ta    - air temperature (optional) [C]
%           rhoa  - air density (optional)  [kg/m^3]
%
%   OUTPUT: tau   - wind stress  [N/m^2]
