Directional Wave Spreading

Directional Wave Spreading is a wave spectral property that characterizes the angular distribution of wave energy about the dominant wave direction, distinguishing it from unidirectional or omnidirectional wave representations by quantifying the degree to which waves propagate across a spread of directions in the context of sea surface roughness and wave shoaling dynamics.
