Evolving velocity fields under coalescing wave groups / W.M. Drennan and M.A. Donelan.: En13-5/91-102E-PDF
"Much of ocean wave theory is built upon the assumption that the ocean surface is made up of a field of random waves, each propagating independently according to the laws of linear theory. Increasingly, however, as more accurate prediction models are required, attention has been focussed on the understanding of phenomena - such as wave group propagation - which are inherently nonlinear. For instance, it is now known that nonlinear interactions among components in a wave group can have important consequences on the growth and evolution of individual waves"--Abstract.
