Scattering of surface waves by ocean currents: the U2H map
Han Wang, Ana B. Villas Bôas, Jacques Vanneste +1
Ocean turbulence at meso- and submesocales affects the propagation of surface waves through refraction and scattering, inducing spatial modulations in significant wave height (SWH)…

Momentum, energy and vorticity balances in deep-water surface gravity waves
Aidan Blaser, Raphaël Benamran, A. Bia Villas Bôas +2
The particle trajectories in irrotational, incompressible and inviscid deep-water surface gravity waves are open, leading to a net drift in the direction of wave propagation common…

Scattering of swell by currents
Han Wang, Ana B. Villas Bôas, William R. Young +1
The refraction of surface gravity waves by currents leads to spatial modulations in the wave field and, in particular, in the significant wave height. We examine this phenomenon in…
