This paper reviews research in ocean engineering over the last 50+ years with the aim to (I)
understand the technological challenges and evolution in the field,(II) investigate whether …

This paper is the product of the wave modelling community and it tries to make a picture of

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 …

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

Multiscale composite models based on the Bragg theory are widely used to study the
normalized radar cross‐section (NRCS) over the sea surface. However, these models are …

▪ Abstract This is a review of the mechanisms that control neutrally stable turbulent boundary-
layer flow over hills and waves, their relative magnitudes, and how they exert their greatest …

Nearly all of the momentum transferred from wind to waves comes about through wave-
induced pressure acting on the slopes of waves: known as form drag. Direct field …

Generally, ocean waves are thought to act as a drag on the surface wind so that momentum
is transferred downward, from the atmosphere into the waves. Recent observations have …
