Abstract: It is noted that the results of recent experiments on the enhancement of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation below surface waves can be stated as follows. TKE dissipation is enhanced by a factor 15Hws/z at depths 0.5Hws < z < 20Hws with respect to the wall-layer result ? = u3?w/?z, where u?w is the friction velocity in water and Hws is the significant windsea wave height. For open ocean conditions, this reduces in most cases to an enhancement factor 106u2?w/gz ≈ u210/gz.
