Airborne Observations of Fetch-Limited Waves in the Gulf of Tehuantepec
TL;DR: In this paper, airborne observations of fetch-limited waves during strong offshore winds in the Gulf of Tehuantepec were collected over a wide range of fetches, including one-and two-dimensional surface wavenumber spectra and turbulent fluxes in winds up to 25 m s−1.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the observation-based source terms available in the third-generation wave model WAVEWATCH III (i.e., the ST6 package for parameterizations of wind input, wave breaking, and swell dissipatio...
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral Energy Dissipation due to Surface Wave Breaking
TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-empirical determination of the spectral dependence of the energy dissipation due to surface wave breaking is presented and then used to propose a model for the spectral dependent of the breaking strength parameter b, defined in the O. M. Phillips's statistical formulation of wave breaking dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transient Evolution of Langmuir Turbulence in Ocean Boundary Layers Driven by Hurricane Winds and Waves
TL;DR: In this article, a large-eddy simulation (LES) model was used to investigate Langmuir turbulence and ocean boundary layer (OBL) dynamics in high-wind hurricane conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations of Surface Wave–Current Interaction
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present airborne observations from two experiments: 1) the High-Resolution Air-Sea Interaction (HiRes) experiment, with measurements across an upwelling jet off the coast of Northern California, and 2) an experiment in the Gulf of Mexico with measurements of waves interacting with the Loop Current and associated eddies.
