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 …

We discuss the coupling processes between surface gravity waves and adjacent winds and
currents in turbulent boundary layers. These processes mediate exchanges of momentum …

In the long term development of the research on wind waves and their modelling, in
particular of the inner and coastal seas, the present situation is framed with a short look at …

Observation and Estimation of Lagrangian, Stokes, and Eulerian Currents Induced by Wind and
Waves at the Sea Surface in: Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 39 Issue 11 (2009) …

A signature of submesoscale flows in the upper ocean is skewness in the distribution of
relative vorticity. Expected to result for high Rossby number flows, such skewness has …

The wind-driven stably stratified mid-latitude oceanic surface turbulent boundary layer is
computationally simulated in the presence of a specified surface gravity-wave field. The …

The NEMO general circulation ocean model is extended to incorporate three physical
processes related to ocean surface waves, namely the surface stress (modified by growth …

The geographical variability, frequency content, and vertical structure of near‐surface
oceanic kinetic energy (KE) are important for air‐sea interaction, marine ecosystems …

The wave‐averaged, or Craik‐Leibovich, equations describe the dynamics of upper ocean
flow interacting with nonbreaking, not steep, surface gravity waves. This paper formulates …
