Variation of Short-Scale Waves in the Shoaling Zone

Abstract

Goals are to provide measurements of short-scale sea surface roughness in the shoaling wave zone determine the correlation between this short-scale slope variance and surface wind stress, and finally suggest the ramifications to microwave remote sensing near the coast.
