Observations on Long Waves Sweeping Through Short Waves.

Abstract

An experiment is reported which attempted through visual observations of a wind-disturbed water surface to analyze critical conditions in the dynamical process of energy exchange between short and long waves. The models were based on one common phenomenon: long waves sweeping through short waves and causing short waves to break on the forward face of the long wave crests. (Author)
