Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surface drift in the upper few centimeters of the ocean surface, produced by wind shear, is shown to modify substantially the propagation speed and energy flux of short surface waves. Two simple models are used to estimate the magnitude of the effect, a two-layer model described by G.I. Taylor and one in which the surface drift is a decaying exponential. When the waves encounter a moving current pattern of the type that would otherwise lead to blockage, the wind drift, augmenting the energy flux of the short waves, is shown to delay or prevent blockage. The modifications introduced by capillary effects in short gravity waves are also examined; surface tension provides an additional delay to possible blockage, but in cases of interest the modification is much less significant.

Download or read book The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind written by Peter Janssen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was published in 2004. The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind describes in detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves and shows how ocean waves affect weather forecasting on timescales of 5 to 90 days. Winds generate ocean waves, but at the same time airflow is modified due to the loss of energy and momentum to the waves; thus, momentum loss from the atmosphere to the ocean depends on the state of the waves. This volume discusses ocean wave evolution according to the energy balance equation. An extensive overview of nonlinear transfer is given, and as a by-product the role of four-wave interactions in the generation of extreme events, such as freak waves, is discussed. Effects on ocean circulation are described. Coupled ocean-wave, atmosphere modelling gives improved weather and wave forecasts. This volume will interest ocean wave modellers, physicists and applied mathematicians, and engineers interested in shipping and coastal protection.
