Statistical Characteristics of Wave Breakings and their Relation with the Wind Waves’ Energy Dissipation Based on the Field Measurements

Purpose. The work is aimed at studying geometric similarity of wind wave breakings in natural conditions, estimating the Duncan constant which connects the wave energy dissipation conditioned by wave breakings, with distribution of the lengths of a breaking wave fronts Λ(с). Methods and Results....
