Attenuation of surface waves in deep water
attenuationofsur00cars.pdf (2.021Mb)Abstract
The concept, instrumentation, and analytical techniques for the
investigation of attenuation of wind generated water surface waves in
a small scale real environment by separation of generation and propagation
by time in the dying wind situation were developed, and an empirical
attenuation function applicable to a wide range of frequencies proposed.
