Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Wind-wave Generation and Evolution

Abstract

The long term goal is to investigate the generation and the nonlinear evolution of the wind wave field. Specifically, we want to know the predominate generation mechanism, their directional distribution in the initial stage, how do they propagate, and what is its role in determining the surface stress.
