Geometric and kinematic indicators of breaking inception in surface gravity waves
Daniel G. Boettger, Shane R. Keating, Michael L. Banner +1
The process of breaking in surface gravity waves can be characterized by two distinct stages. Breaking onset, defined as the first visible surface manifestation of breaking, is pre…

The energetic inception of breaking in surface gravity waves under wind forcing
Daniel G. Boettger, Shane R. Keating, Michael L. Banner +2
The breaking of surface gravity waves is a key process contributing to air-sea fluxes and turbulent ocean mixing. The highly nonlinear nature of wave breaking, combined with the ch…
