, 2018 Wind-generated waves dominate sea surface motions for periods shorter than 300 seconds. Waves are of interest for many applications ranging from navigation safety to ocean and coastal engineering. Waves also define air-sea fluxes and have important interactions with surface currents, upper ocean turbulence, and sea ice.

Sea spray volume flux estimation using joint statistics of wind and waves
Oceanologia, 2022 This article provides estimates of the sea spray volume flux using joint statistics of wind and waves. This is achieved by combining the sea spray volume flux parameterization proposed by Xu et al.

A global climatology of wind–wave interaction [PDF]
, 2010 Generally, ocean waves are thought to act as a drag on the surface wind so that momentum is transferred downwards, from the atmosphere into the waves.

Evolution of Alfven wave-driven solar winds to red giants [PDF]
, 2007 In this talk we introduce our recent results of global 1D MHD simulations for the acceleration of solar and stellar winds. We impose transverse photospheric motions corresponding to the granulations, which generate outgoing Alfven waves. The Alfven waves

Analysis of the effect of fish oil on wind waves and implications for air–water interaction studies [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2019 Surfactant layers with viscoelastic properties floating on the water surface dampen short gravity-capillary waves. Taking advantage of the known virtue of fish oil to still angry seas, a laboratory study has been made to analyse wind-wave generation and ...

Infragravity Wave Energy Partitioning in the Surf Zone in Response to Wind-Sea and Swell Forcing
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 An alongshore array of pressure sensors and a cross-shore array of current velocity and pressure sensors were deployed on a barred beach in southwestern Australia to estimate the relative response of edge waves and leaky waves to variable incident wind ...

Wave Overtopping over Coastal Structures with Oblique Wind and Swell Waves
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018 Most guidelines on wave overtopping over coastal structures are based on conditions with waves from one direction only. Here, wave basin tests with oblique wave attack are presented where waves from one direction are combined with waves from another ...

Long-period unstable gravity-waves and associated VHF radar echoes [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1997 VHF atmospheric radar is used to measure the wind velocity and radar echo power related to long-period wind perturbations, including gravity waves, which are observed commonly in the lower stratosphere and tropopause region, and sometimes in the ...

Observational Quantification of the Energy Dissipated by Alfv\'en Waves in a Polar Coronal Hole: Evidence that Waves Drive the Fast Solar Wind [PDF]
, 2013 We present a measurement of the energy carried and dissipated by Alfv\'en waves in a polar coronal hole. Alfv\'en waves have been proposed as the energy source that heats the corona and drives the solar wind.
