Direct observations of airflow separation over ocean surface waves

Abstract A large portion of the kinetic energy found within the ocean originates from the growth of ocean surface waves under the action of wind. However our understanding of wind wave dynamical coupling mechanisms remains incomplete. Competing theories exist but direct observational evidence is lac...
