Secretary of the Navy Professor of Oceanography
The principal research effort has been towards understanding the high-frequency tail of the surface gravity wave spectrum, lengths of 2 cm to 60 cm; these a principally responsible for wind drag on water. Analysis was based on a unique data set from geophones and hydrophones at 5 1/2 km depth midway...
