The mechanisms governing the evolution of the wind-wave field in time and in space are not
yet fully understood. Various theoretical approaches have been offered to model wind-wave …

Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) measurements of the velocity field under breaking
waves in the laboratory are presented. The region of turbulent fluid directly generated by …

The dynamics of wind-generated water waves in the principal stage of the Phillips theory
(Phillips, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 2, 1957, pp. 417–445) is investigated by a combined numerical …

A rapid-distortion model is developed to investigate the interaction of weak turbulence with a
monochromatic irrotational surface water wave. The model is applicable when the orbital …

The paper analyzes the capability of the present wave models of properly reproducing the
conditions during and at the peak of severe and extreme storms. After providing evidence …

The influence of wind stress, small‐scale waves, and surface films on air‐sea gas exchange
at low to moderate wind speeds (< 10 ms− 1) is examined. Coincident observations of wind …

We present the results of laboratory and field measurements on the stability of wind-driven
water surfaces. The laboratory measurements show that when exposed to an increasing …

Laboratory studies have been conducted in two circular wind wave flumes to investigate the
relationship between air‐sea transfer velocities of weakly soluble, nonreactive gases and …

Mixing induced by nonbreaking surface waves was investigated in a wave tank by
measuring the thermal destratification rate of the water column. One experiment without …

The role of microscale wave breaking in controlling the air‐water transfer of heat and gas is
investigated in a laboratory wind‐wave tank. The local heat transfer velocity, kH, is …
