Wind-Generated Waves

在这个9501508英里的项目中，PI将与一名研究生合作，研究地球物理流体动力学问题，特别关注从湍流风到表面波的能量转移。PI在1957年的原始理论最近被扩展到包括湍流雷诺应力的波浪诱导摄动的影响。在这个项目中，将研究一种具体的机制，以反驳对这一延期的批评。另一个重点将是试图量化阵风对风浪能量转移的影响。***

9501508 Miles In this project, the PI, in collaboration with a graduate student, will study problems in geophysical fluid dynamics, with specific focus on the transfer of energy from turbulent winds to surface waves. The PI's original theory of 1957 was recently extended to include the effects of wave-induced perturbations of the turbulent Reynolds stresses. In this project, a specific mechanism will be examined to counter criticisms of this extension. Another focus will be to attempt to quantify the effects of wind gustiness on wind-to-wave energy transfer. ***
