Detailed investigation of wind-generated water waves in a 5-m-long wind wave flume facility
is reported. Careful measurements were carried out at a large number of locations along the …

Parameterization of the directional distribution of the wave energy obtained by means of
arrays of wave probes is suggested. The parameterization encompasses a wide frequency …

Despite a significant progress and numerous publications over the last few decades a
comprehensive understanding of the process of waves' excitation by wind still has not been …

This paper presents recent research aimed at developing a detailed predictive capability for
wind generated ocean waves in shallow coastal waters. The detailed evolution of the …

Wave wire data from the large wind wave tank of the Ocean Engineering Laboratory at the
University of California, Santa Barbara, are analyzed, and comparisons are made with …

An investigation was undertaken to discover the extent to which statistical properties of wind-
generated waves can be simulated on a small scale under laboratory conditions …

The goals of wind wave research are relatively well defined: to be able to predict the wind
wave field and its effect on the environment. That environment could be natural (beaches …

Reconciling Discrepancies in the Observed Growth of Wind-generated Waves in: Journal of
Physical Oceanography Volume 22 Issue 12 (1992) Jump to Content Jump to Main Navigation …

Fields of statistically steady wind-generated waves produced in the NASA-Wallops wind
wave facility, were perturbed by the injection of groups of longer waves with various slopes …

Measurements in a closed, recirculating wind‐wave tank using variable wind speeds
showed that wind waves in the gravity‐capillary range exhibit a threshold in their growth …
