ENERGY ASPECTS OF THE WIND PROFILE STRUCTURE
OVER THE WAVE FIELD

Abstract
Using the wave movement induced difference Uw between the logarithmic
and real wind velocity profile the energy flux is calculated. The 
flux sign changes when shifting from generation to attenuation cases.
Its magnitude agrees with that computed from consecutive wave energy
spectra and depends, together with other profile parameters, on Uw 
and C10.
