    摘要: New parameterizations for the spectra dissipation of wind-generated waves are proposed. The rates of dissipation have no predetermined spectral shapes and are functions of the wave spectrum and wind speed and direction, in a way consistent with observation of wave breaking and swell dissipation properties. Namely, the swell dissipation is nonlinear and proportional to the swell steepness, and dissipation due to wave breaking is non-zero only when a non-dimensional spectrum exceeds the threshold at which waves are observed to start breaking. An additional来源 of short wave dissipation due to long wave breaking is introduced to represent the dissipation of short waves due to longer breaking waves. Several degrees of freedom are introduced in the wave breaking and the wind-wave generation term of Janssen (J. Phys. Oceanogr. 1991). These parameterizations are combined and calibrated with the Discrete Interaction Approximation of Hasselmann et al. (J. Phys. Oceangr. 1985) for the nonlinear interactions. Parameters are adjusted to reproduce observed shapes of directional wave spectra, and the variability of spectral moments with wind speed and wave height. The wave energy balance is verified in a wide range of conditions and scales, from gentle swells to major hurricanes, from the global ocean to coastal settings. Wave height, peak and mean periods, and spectral data are validated using in situ and remote sensing data. Some systematic defects are still present, but the parameterizations yield the best overall results to date. Perspectives for further improvement are also given.

    • 摘要:Wave breaking is the most important mechanism that leads to the dissipation of oceanic surface wave energy. A relationship between the energy dissipation rate associated with breaking wave whitecaps and the area of whitecap foam per unit area ocean surface is expected, but there is a lack of consensus on what form this relationship should take. Here, mathematical representations of whitecap coverage and growth-phase whitecap coverage are derived, and an energy-balance approach is used to formulate and in terms of . Both and are found to be linearly proportional to but also inversely proportional to the bubble plume penetration depth during active breaking. Since this depth can vary for breaking waves of different scales and slopes, there is likely no unique relationship between and either or as bubble plume penetration depth must also be specified. Whitecap observations from the North Atlantic are used to estimate bubble plume penetration depth as a function of wind speed and then used with measurements to compute . An estimate of the relative magnitude of to the rate of energy input from the wind to the waves is made. Above wind speeds of about 12 m s−1, is largely balanced by . At lower wind speeds the ratio quickly drops below unity with decreasing wind speed. It is proposed that sea-state-driven variability in both and bubble plume penetration depth are significant causes of variation in whitecap coverage datasets and parameterizations. 全文链接:https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/10.1175/JPO-D-17-0124.1
