First sentence: The subject of ocean waves and their generation by wind has fascinated me greatly since I started to work in the Department of Oceanography at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) at the end of 1979.
Description: "The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind is the first book to describe in detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves and shows how ocean waves affect weather forecasting on time scales of 5 to 90 days." "This volume will interest ocean-wave modellers, physicists and applied mathematicians, and engineers interested in shipping and coastal protection."--BOOK JACKET.
