About

Wind-wave interaction is the fundamental physical process involving the mutual exchange of momentum, energy, and mass across the air-sea interface, driven by the coupling between atmospheric wind flow and surface ocean waves. This concept investigates the generation, growth, and dissipation of waves by wind, and conversely, the influence of surface roughness and wave breaking on atmospheric boundary layer structure and turbulence, holding significant importance for climate modeling, ocean dynamics, and marine engineering.
