“…In the experiments of Donelan et al (1992) performed on Lake St.Clair, as well as in some earlier experiments by Moskowitz (1964), andSMB CERC (1977), the downshift is arrested approximately at χ crit 5×10 4 . It corresponds to a very long fetch, χ crit 10 4 L, where L is a characteristic wave length.…”

Abstract.We show that the results of major fetch limited field studies of wind-generated surface gravity waves on deep water can be explained in the framework of simple analytical model. The spectra measured in these experiments are described by self-similar solutions of "conservative" Hasselmann equation that includes only advective and nonlinear interaction terms. Interaction with the wind and dissipation due to the wave breaking indirectly defines parameters of the self-similar solutions.
