A global perspective of wind-wave interaction and the distribution of wave momentum
The interaction between ocean surface waves and the overlying wind leads to a transfer of momentum across the air-sea interface. Generally, ocean waves are thought to act as a drag on the surface wind so that the air-sea momentum flux is directed downward, from the atmosphere into the waves. Recent...
