Effects of velocity shear on the stability of surface deep water wave trains / by J.C. Li, W.H. Hui, and M.A. Donelan.: En13-5/87-152E-PDF
"This paper addresses one of the complex interactions of wind and waves: the effect of the wind on the stability of small, secondary waves, referred to as side bands. The theory developed gives some insight into the controlling mechanisms, and provides insight into the growth of wave energy due to winds. Its importance is in the improvement of wave prediction models and in models of near surface velocity distributions; controlling parameters in turbulence and mixing processes in the upper layers of lakes and oceans"--Management Perspective.
