Abstract: Shear instabilities can result in waves being radiated far from the seat of instability. This phenomenon, and its opposite extreme, the trapping of instabilities, can be described and interdistinguished by linear theory ...

Abstract: Measurements were made of the surface elevation of a fetch-limited wave field (fetch 7 km, wind speed about 6 m s?1). Good high-frequency response was attained by the use of a very thin, bare wire probe of diameter 0.13 ...
