A laboratory study of the minimum wind speed for wind wave generation / by Kimmo K. Kahma and Mark A. Donelan.: En13-5/85-16E-PDF
"This is a fundamental basic study of the formation of waves on water by wind taken to the limit. The study was undertaken by Dr. Kahma who as a post doctoral fellow in the Division has collaborated on a number of studies.The onset of wave generation by wind enables the researcher to effectively discriminate between theories on wave generation as obviously the more correct theory will work better at the limit than the incorrect theory. The study therefore greatly assists in understanding the interaction of wind and water at the microlayer where important exchange processes of energy, mass and momentum take place"--Management perspective, p. iii.
