On ST6 Source Terms Model Assessment and Alternative

We present the study of ST6 balanced set wind energy input and wave dissipation due to breaking source terms, offered as option in operational forecasting models based on theoretical self-similarity analysis numerical simulation radiative transfer equation. The relies classical limited fetch excitation problem with constant blowing orthogonally shoreline toward open ocean. It is found that model exhibits asymptotic quasi self-similar behavior for fetches exceeding ≃25 km, well non-universal growth shorter fetches, depending levels. construct alternative PGZ-2 from a consideration, which reproduces field experimental data almost whole span reduces evolution dependence level. assert more accurate than model. Moreover, it has wider area applicability.
