5200 |a"Wave forecasting models depend in large measure on the sources and sinks of wave energy, that is, input from the wind and wave dissipation. In addition, the link between wind and wind waves must be known in detail to be able to measure oceanic winds from satellites. Swell, or old waves, significantly reduces the efficiency of the energy transfer from wind to waves. A mechanism for this reduction is postulated and discussed. Publication of this information may lead to improved wave forecasting models, and will advance techniques to measure winds over the oceans. The latter will lead to better weather forecasting"--Management perspective, p. i.
