Abstract:Short ocean surface waves are important for remote sensing, air-sea
exchange, and underwater acoustics. The energy spectrum at scales much
shorter than the dominant waves are azimuthally bimodal. However, widely
used wave models fail to reproduce the bimodality of the short gravity
waves. Recent studies have shown that an azimuthally narrow dissipation
due to breaking can significantly improve model performance. Thus,
highlighting the importance of the directional energy balance of wave
models. We utilized ste… Show more
