A Laboratory Study Of Wave Growth And Air Flow Behaviour Over Waves Strongly Forced By Wind

Abstract

Existing normalisations of wave response to prevailing winds remain unreconciled with theoretical predictions. Accurate predictive schemes are essential for the intense storms that are responsible for the most severe wave fields but show signficant complexity as observed by Wright et al. (2001).
