A laser-equipped research platform has, for the first time, photographed airflow just millimeters above ocean waves, revealing two simultaneous wind–wave energy-transfer tricks—slow short waves steal ...

Ocean surface waves are surface waves that occur at the surface of an ocean. ... There is surprisingly little actual forward motion of individual water particles in a wave, ...

Anatomy of a Wave . When the wind blows across a smooth water surface, two things happen: Friction is created as air rubs against water, and this frictional force begins stretching the water’s ...
