The results of using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to study the processes of gravitational wave breaking are presented. The experiments are carried out in the coastal zone of the western Crimea (the area of Sevastopol) in the range of wind speeds from 5.5 to 9.5 m/s. The determination of the geometric dimensions of breaking and their speeds is carried out according to video recordings of the sea surface obtained from the UAV. It is shown that the spatial resolution of the transformed image pl
