Estimates of kinetic energy dissipation under breaking waves / by E.A. Terray [and seven others].: En13-5/94-57E-PDF
"The mixing of surface waters by wave action bears directly on many practical problems and phenomena associated with the use of lakes as a resource; e.g. the dispersal of buoyant pollutants (sewage, oil spills); gas transfer across the air-water interface; nutrient mixing; photosynthetic efficiency of plankton. This study reveals new information on the structure of the turbulence in the upper layers beneath breaking waves. It is shown that the dissipation rates of kinetic energy are many times larger than the traditional estimates. A structure for the near surface layers is described and may be used for modelling in lakes and oceans"--Management perspective.
