Summary |
"The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind is the first book to describe in detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves and shows how ocean waves affect weather forecasting on time scales of 5 to 90 days." "This volume will interest ocean-wave modellers, physicists and applied mathematicians, and engineers interested in shipping and coastal protection."--BOOK JACKET |
