We revisit the challenges and prospects for ocean circulation models following Griffies et al..
Over the past decade, ocean circulation models evolved through improved understanding …

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 …

This is the user manual and system documentation of version 3.14 of the full-spectral third-
generation wind-wave model WAVEWATCH III TM. This model has been developed at the …

The subject of ocean turbulence is in a state of discovery and development with many
intellectual challenges. This book describes the principal dynamic processes that control the …

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 …

The turbulent mixing in thin ocean surface boundary layers (OSBL), which occupy the upper
100 m or so of the ocean, control the exchange of heat and trace gases between the …

Measurements collected during the AUSWEX field campaign, at Lake George (Australia),
resulted in new insights into the processes of wind wave interaction and whitecapping …

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 …

This paper is the product of the wave modelling community and it tries to make a picture of
the present situation in this branch of science, exploring the previous and the most recent …

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