Today (25-10-09) I visited beach on the west coast with clearly south wind.
Looking to the waves, there were some with height h | 2 cm < h <10 cm, with peculiar high velocity. They were sailing on the wind. Somehow waves of these height are kept up, are stalled in falling down and the phase-velocity of falling eventualy went from south to north, but also from north to south, astonishing fast. v=5 m/s I should say. Sometimes a sn and a ns would meet and evaporate.
Is there an oceanografic or meteorologic report on "the influence of wind on waves"?
