Description

Book Synopsis
This book describes in detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves. It will interest ocean wave modellers, physicists and applied mathematicians, and engineers interested in shipping and coastal protection.

Trade Review
Review of the hardback: '… the book succeeds in providing simple descriptions of not-so-simple processes, and practical applications that will be useful to wave modellers, meteorologists and oceanographers who work with air-sea interactions.' EOS

Table of Contents
Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. The energy balance of deep-water oceans; 3. On the generation of ocean waves by wind; 4. Non-linear wave-wave interactions and wave-dissipation; 5. Wave forecasting and wind-wave interaction; References; Index.
