The Response of Wind Ripples to Long Surface Waves
Abstract
Long-term goals are: (1) To develop an advanced physical model of the wind wave spectrum based on the Donelan and Pierson (1987) approach and accounting for the nonlinear processes in the capillary-gravity range consistent with existing analytic models of high-wavenumber spectra. (2) To construct a new version of the ABL model coupled with wind waves using an advanced wind wave spectrum model and the approach developed by Makin et al. (1995). (3) To build an unified model of the short wave modulations by long surface waves. This model describes the reaction of the coupled system `wind waves - ABL' in the presence of surface disturbances caused by long waves. (4) To verify the model results on the available radar data and the new data obtained from the MHI Black Sea Research platform.
