The wave-induced mixing is of principal importance for air-sea interaction models since heat capacity of 2-3m of the ocean water is equal to the capacity of the entire atmosphere. This project will study and implement such mixing, including the newly described physical phenomenon of wave-induced turbulence, into a variety of models. As a result, wave models and global climate models will be coupled. It is believed that such coupling will enhance our ability to predict the impact of global climate change. As part of the project, predictions of changes to the global wave climate will be developed. Such predictions are important to a nation such as Australia where significant population and economic assets are located close to the coast.

由于2- 3 m海水的热容量等于整个大气的热容量，因此波浪引起的混合对于海气相互作用模式是至关重要的。本项目将研究这种混合，包括新描述的波浪诱导湍流的物理现象，并将其应用到各种模型中。因此，波浪模型和全球气候模型将结合起来。人们相信，这种耦合将提高我们预测全球气候变化影响的能力。作为该项目的一部分，将对全球波浪气候的变化进行预测。这样的预测对澳大利亚这样的国家来说很重要，因为澳大利亚的人口和经济资产都靠近海岸。
