Abstract: The development of the wave spectrum with fetch in a steady wind has been studied with a line of consecutive wave buoys in the Bothnian Sea in 1976 and 1979. The relationship that was found between dimensionless peak ...

Abstract: Spectra from various wave-growth experiments have been collected into a database, and the data have been reanalyzed to explain the differences in the observed growth rates. For one of the experiments (Joint North Sea Wave ...

Abstract: In slanting fetch conditions the direction of actively growing waves is strongly controlled by the fetch geometry. The effect was found to be pronounced in the long and narrow Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea, where it ...

Abstract: Recent field observations and large-eddy simulations have shown that the impact of fast swell on the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) might be stronger than previously assumed. For low to moderate winds blowing in ...

Abstract: easurements of pressure near the surface in conditions of wind sea and swell are reported. Swell, or waves that overrun the wind, produces an upward flux of energy and momentum from waves to the wind and corresponding ...

Abstract: This paper describes an apparatus developed for simultaneously measuring water elevation and static and dynamic pressure, momentum, and heat fluxes above waves close to the interface. The apparatus was used successfully ...

Abstract: tmospheric and surface wave data from several oceanic experiments carried out on the Floating Instrument Platform (FLIP) and the Air?Sea Interaction Spar (ASIS) have been analyzed with the purpose of identifying swell-related ...

Abstract: AbstractFifteen hours of consecutive swell data from the experiment Flux, État de la Mer, et Télédétection en Condition de Fetch Variable (FETCH) in the Mediterranean show a distinct upward momentum flux. The characteristics ...
