Wind generated ocean waves
The goals of wind wave research are relatively well defined: to be able to predict the wind wave field and its effect on the environment. That environment could be natural (beaches, the atmosphere etc.) or imposed by human endeavour (ports, harbours, coastal settlements etc.). Although the goals are...

| Summary: | The goals of wind wave research are relatively well defined: to be able to predict the wind wave field and its effect on the environment.
