Nonlinear wave interactions of kinetic sound waves
We reconsider the nonlinear resonant interaction between three electrostatic waves in a magnetized plasma. The general coupling coefficients derived from kinetic theory are reduced here to the low-frequency limit. The main contribution to the coupling coefficient we find in this way agrees with the coefficient recently presented in Annales Geophysicae. But we also deduce another contribution wh...
متن کاملWind-generated water waves: two overlooked mechanisms?
From research on stratospheric dynamics there has emerged what might prove to be some useful fresh ideas about the problem of water-wave generation by wind. As pointed out in an earlier contribution (1993), water waves can be systematically amplified by two irreversible, ratchet-like mechanisms that depend on spatio-temporal inhomogeneities, such as wind gustiness and wave groupiness. Neither m...
متن کاملCapillary-gravity and capillary waves generated in a wind wave tank: observations and theories
Short water surface waves generated by wind in a water tunnel have been measured by an optical technique that provides a synoptic picture of the water surface gradient over an area of water surface (Zhang & Cox 1994). These images of the surface gradient can be integrated to recover the shape of the water surface and find the two-dimensional wavenumber spectrum. Waveforms and two-dimensional st...
متن کاملWave-generated Transport Induced by Ideal Waves
We consider boundary layer ows driven by either monochromatic progressive waves or standing waves. The forcing waves may be noisy from either phase or amplitude uctuations in these waves. The central issue addressed here is whether such ows are capable of developing spatial transport velocity patterns which persist over time. The existence of such patterns has two important consequences. First,...
متن کاملSurface Fluxes and Wind-Wave Interactions in Weak Wind Conditions
We will isolate a number of influences on air-sea transfer of momentum, heat, and moisture for weak wind conditions. We will focus on the important impact of swell amplitude and propagation direction and the explicit influence of large atmospheric eddies on the stability functions for the transfer coefficients for surface fluxes. Improved understanding of the various influences on sea surface f...
