Effects of Long Waves on the Generation of Waves by Wind.

Abstract

The program objective was a quantitative understanding of the properties of the short wind generated waves relevant to the interpretation of remote sensing radar images of the ocean. To that effect, the work has focused on the interaction between long and short waves in the presence of water and wind shear.
