Accelerations in Steep Gravity Waves. II: Subsurface AccelerationsSource: Journal of Physical Oceanography:;1986:;Volume( 016 ):;issue: 007::page 1332Author:Longuet-Higgins, M. S.
DOI: 10.1175/1520-0485(1986)016<1332:AISGWI>2.0.CO;2Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is shown that the vertical acceleration of a particle beneath the crest of a step gravity wave does not always decrease monotonically with depth in the fluid. When the wave steepness ak exceeds 0.4, the acceleration at first increases with depth, and is a maximum at points slightly below the free surface. The result may have implications for the motions of a floating buoy.
