During its periodic motion, a particle floating at the free surface of a water wave experiences
a net drift velocity in the direction of wave propagation, known as the Stokes drift (Stokes …

A model for wind‐generated surface gravity waves, WAVEWATCH III®, is used to analyze
and interpret buoy measurements of wave spectra. The model is applied to a hindcast of a …

Global wave hindcasts are developed using the third generation spectral wave model
WAVEWATCH III with the observation‐based source terms (ST6) and a hybrid rectilinear …

Breaking waves generate a distribution of bubble sizes that evolves over time. Knowledge of
how this distribution evolves is of practical importance for maritime and climate studies. The …

Katabatic winds in coastal polynyas expose the ocean to extreme heat loss, causing intense
sea ice production and dense water formation around Antarctica throughout autumn and …

Surface gravity wave breaking occurs along coastlines in complex spatial and temporal
patterns that significantly impact erosion, scalar transport, and flooding. Numerical models …

Traditional atmosphere, ocean and wave models are run independently of each other. This
means that the energy and momentum fluxes do not fully account for the impact of the …

Physical phenomena at an air–water interface are of interest in a variety of flows with both
industrial and natural/environmental applications. In this paper, we present novel …

The effects of turbulence generated by nonbreaking waves have been investigated by
testing and evaluating a new nonbreaking wave parameterization in a coupled hurricane …

Bubble plume penetration depths have been identified as a key parameter linking
subsurface turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation rates and whitecaps. From data …
