Using computer simulations, it is shown that failure to consider water vapo
r effects may lead to anomalous friction velocity changes with static stabi
lity. When interpreting synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery showing sea
surface features induced by marine boundary layer spanning eddies, consider
ation should be given to the effects of water vapor.
