Abstract

The energy transfer equation for well developed ocean waves, under the influence of wind, is considered, and the conditions for the existence of an equilibrium solutions in which wind input, wave-wave interaction and dissipation balance each other are studied. The paper is presented in three parts - a summary of what is known about the source terms in the energy transfer equation; the energy balance for the conventional Parson-Moskowitz spectrum as a candidate of a quasi equilibrium solution, and in the last section of the results of numerical experiments are presented.
