Yet die information is sparse because it says nothing about time and space scales. The BH rules are an inconvenient sea truth, too fundamental to be ignored, too incomplete to be understood. With regard to BH rule 1 (BH:1), I suggest that the constant spread is associated with a wake-like geometry of the short gravities. Steepness linearity (BH:2) remains an enigma. Skewness (BH:3) appears to be correlated with a rather sudden onset of breaking for winds above 4 in s(-1) do not think that skewness comes from parasitic capillaries. These are tentative conclusions; I look forward to intensive sea-going experiments over the next few years demolishing the proposed interpretations.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AMS","StandardTitle":"An inconvenient sea truth: spread, steepness, and skewness of surface slopes","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:01.897972","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"capillary waves; wind stress; ship waves; microseisms","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2009,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2022-03-23","DateCreate":"2009-02-27","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000267421700016","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1146/annurev.marine.010908.163940"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":131272,"PubliDate":2009,"Pagination":"377-415","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":"978-0-8243-4501-3","Volume":"1","Issue":null,"BRefMon":131205,"BRefMonRR":"<b>Carlson, C.A.; Giovannoni, S.J.
