The Probability Density Function of Ocean Surface Slopes and Its Effects on Radar Backscatter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on Longuet-Higgins?s theory of the probability distribution of wave amplitude and wave period and on some observations, a new probability density function (PDF) of ocean surface slopes is derived. It is where ?x and ...
Estimates of Kinetic Energy Dissipation under Breaking Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dissipation of kinetic energy at the surface of natural water bodies has important consequences for many Physical and biochemical processes including wave dynamics, gas transfer, mixing of nutrients and pollutants, and ...
