Surface Wave Field There is obviously a strong coup- ling between the surface wind field (°) and ocean waves, with the wind in- itially generating short-length capillary waves which then cascade toward longer wavelengths and larger amplitudes, dependent upon the strength, direction, duration, and fetch of the wind. While signifi- cant wave height //1/3 is a one-pa- rameter specification of sea state, the proper description of a homogeneous surface wave field is more detailed, , the two-dimen-.
