The generation of surface waves by an intense cyclone
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 February 2009
Abstract
Assuming a travelling oscillating pressure source model, this paper sets out to investigate the observation of surface gravity waves generated by a cyclone moving with constant speed v. It is shown that when the source frequency is near the critical resonant value g/4ν, large amplitude waves may be generated. There is some agreement with observations of waves from cyclone Pam of February, 1974.
