An efficient and ready-to-use statistical description of the surface gravity wavefield, especially its directional energy characteristics, is often needed for many engineering and scientific applications, in particular, for short-term forecasting of surface waves generated by Tropical Cyclones (TC). Full sophisticated spectral wave models certainly have the capability to provide detailed wave information. Moon et al., (2003) performed a comprehensive investigation of wind wavefield generated by TC Bonnie using WAVEWATCH III model (Tolman, 2009), buoy and aircraft Scanning Radar Altimeter (SRA) measurements. This study clearly demonstrated that using realistic wind forcing, the use of a high-resolution WAVEWATCH III model may yield successful simulations of surface wave fields in hurricane conditions. Yet, computer limitations and/or needs to consider ensembles of solutions also invite to develop more simplified solutions. For instance, practical models can help to rapidly anticipate and document the role of partial resonance effects to increase the effective fetch and duration of the wave-growth process in the main direction of the tropical and extra-tropical weather systems, that is, the wave trapping phe-

“…Now we discuss the self‐similar solutions of the stationary inhomogeneous WKE, that is, the fetch‐limited scenario of wave evolution

\frac{2 g}{ω} \cos θ \frac{\partial ε}{\partial x} = S_{nl} .

The self‐similar solution has the following form

ε (ω, θ, t) = B^{5} x^{p + q} G (ζ, θ); ζ = B ω x^{q},

where p and q are connected by the magic relation

10 q = 2 p + 1 .

The function G satisfies the equation

\frac{2}{ζ} [(5 q - \frac{1}{2}) F + q ζ \frac{\partial F}{\partial ζ}] = S_{nl} .

Self‐similar solution exists for any q ≥ 1/12. The marginal case q = 1/12 describes a stationary inhomogeneous swell (Badulin & Zakharov, ). Energy in this case decays as t −1/12 .…”

We present a self‐consistent analytic theory of the wind‐driven sea—the weak‐turbulent theory. The base statement of the theory is that the four‐wave resonant interactions play the leading role in the energy balance of the wind‐driven sea. We study the exact solution of the stationary wave kinetic equation and the self‐similar solutions of wave kinetic equation both in fetch‐ and duration‐limited cases. The theory makes possible to explain the nature of universal power‐like energy spectra as well as the power‐like dependence of the total wave energy and peak frequency from the fetch and the duration.
