Abstract: A numerical model of the boundary layer of the atmosphere above a gravity surface wave is reviewed. The model results are used to obtain an expression for the wind input, the wave growth due to the wind. This is done for ...

Abstract: The specific properties of the turbulent wind stress and the related wind wave field are investigated in a dedicated laboratory experiment for a wide range of wind speeds and fetches, and the results are analyzed using the ...

Abstract: Strong winds above the sea lead to large amounts of spray in the lowest part of the boundary layer. Through their evaporation, spray droplets influence the exchange of sensible and latent heat between sea and air. In this ...
