Directional spectra from the Swath ship in SWADE / M.A. Donelan [and five others].: En13-5/92-11E-PDF

"Climate and global change are at the forefront of environmental concerns. The scientific community has become increasingly aware that the role of the air-water interface, in terms of waves and the fluxes of heat and momentum, is central to these issues. It is that interface that connects the two most important subsystems controlling the changes. The Surface Wave Dynamics Experiment (SWADE) was a major international experiment which will improve our understanding and provide the basis for parametrizing the processes at the interface; this will subsequently lead to improved prediction capability. This data report describing the directional wave characteristics during the experiment is one of many reports, upon which scientific papers will be based, that will address these issues"--Management Perspective.
