Attenuation of laboratory "swell" in an adverse wind / by Mark A. Donelan.: En36-539/18-1984E-PDF
"A laboratory experiment is conducted to determine the direct attenuation of waves in an opposing wind. Upwind travelling waves are generated by a submerged wave-maker and a wave—follower borne pressure probe is used to obtain the amplitudes and relative phase of surface pressure and surface elevation. It is shown that the resulting attenuation rates are substantial even when the slope is only 2.5%"--Abstract.
