Ocean Waves

Orbital waves are waves in which the particles of water move in closed circles as the wave passes.

Progressive waves are waves of moving energy in which the wave form moves in one direction along the surface (or junction) of the transmission medium. Orbital waves are a type of progressive wave because the waveform moves forward

What factors affect wind wave development?

Wind strength - wind must be moving faster than the wave crests for energy transfer to continue

Wind duration - winds that blow for a short time will not generate large waves

Fetch - the uninterrupted distance over which the wind blows without changing direction

The WAM model describes the evolution of a two-The WAM model describes the evolution of a two-dimensional ocean wave spectrum. In contrast to first and dimensional ocean wave spectrum. In contrast to first and second generation models, the third generation model second generation models, the third generation model WAM introduces no ad hoc assumptions on the spectral WAM introduces no ad hoc assumptions on the spectral shape. It computes the 2-d wave variance spectrum shape. It computes the 2-d wave variance spectrum through integration of the transport equationthrough integration of the transport equation
