3 Introduction A long long time ago An experiment 62 years ago JOURNAL OF THE OPTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICAV VOLUME 44, NUMBER NOVEMBER, 954 Measurement of the Roughness of the Sea Surface from Photographs of the Sun's Glitter CIIARLES COX AND WALTER MUNK Scripps Institution of Oceanography,* La Jolla, California (Received April 28, 954) November 954 MEASUREMENT OF THE SEA SURFACE 839 A method is developed for interpreting the statistics of the sun's glitter on the sea surface in terms of the statistics of the slope distribution. The method consists of two principal phases: () of identifying, from geometric considerations, any point on the surface with the particular slope required for the reflection of the sun's rays toward the observer; and (2) of interpreting the average brightness of the sea surface in the vicinity of this point in terms of the frequency with which this particular slope occurs. The computation of the probability of large (and infrequent) slopes is limited by the disappearance of the glitter into a background consisting of () the sunlight scattered from particles beneath the sea surface, and (2) the skylight reflected by the sea surface. The method has been applied to aerial photographs taken under carefully chosen conditions in the Hawaiian area. Winds were measured from a vessel at the time and place of the aerial photographs, and cover a range from to 4 m sec~'. The effect of surface slicks, laid by the vessel, are included in the study. A two-dimensional Gram-Charlier series is fitted to the data. As a first approximation the distribution is Gaussian and isotropic with respect to direction. The mean square slope (regardless of direction) increases linearly with the wind speed, reaching a value of (tanl6 )2 for a wind speed of 4 m sec-'. The ratio of the up/ downwind to the crosswind component of mean square slope varies from. to.9. There is some up/downwind skewness which increases with increasing wind speed. As a result the most probable slope at high winds is not zero but a few degrees, with the azimuth of ascent pointing downwind. The measured peakedness which is barely above the limit of observational error, is such as to make the probability of very large and very small slopes greater than Gaussian. The effect of oil slicks covering an area of one-quarter square mile is to reduce the mean square slopes by a factor of two or three, to eliminate skewness, but to leave peakedness unchanged. FIG..

6 Gauss versus Lagrange More recent Why using a stochastic Lagrange model? The (linear) Gaussian wave model allows exact computation of wave characteristic distributions (the WAFO toolbox) produces crest-trough and front-back stochastically symmetric waves The modified stochastic Lagrange model can produce (26) crest-trough asymmetric waves (2D) (29) front-back asymmetric waves (2D) (2) front-back asymmetric waves (3D) still allows for exact computation of wave characteristic distributions Software exists for calculation of statistical wave characteristic distributions (crest, trough heights, period, steepness etc) Lindgren and Lindgren (LU and BATH) Asymmetric Lagrange waves March 23 6 / 32

7 The stochastic 3D Lagrange model The Gaussian generator Gaussian generator and the orbital spectrum In the Gaussian model the vertical height W (t, s) of a particle at the free surface at time t and location s = (u, v) is an integral of harmonics with random phases and amplitudes: W (t, s) = κ = (κ x, κ y ) = κ(cos θ, sin θ) ω = ω(κ) = gκ tanh κh ω= π θ= π e i(κs ωt) dζ(ω, θ) with S(ω, θ) = the orbital spectrum and ζ(ω, θ) is a Gaussian complex spectral process. Lindgren and Lindgren (LU and BATH) Asymmetric Lagrange waves March 23 7 / 32

8 The stochastic 3D Lagrange model The free Lagrange model The stochastic Lagrange model Describes vertical and horizontal movements of individual surface water particles. Use W (t, s) = e i(κs ωt) dζ(κ, ω) for the vertical movement of a particle with (intitial) reference coordinate s = (u, v) and write Σ(t, s) = Make Σ(t, s) stochastic. ( ) X (t, s) = horizontal location at time t Y (t, s) Lindgren and Lindgren (LU and BATH) Asymmetric Lagrange waves March 23 8 / 32

9 The stochastic 3D Lagrange model The free Lagrange model with horizontal Gaussian movements Use the same Gaussian spectral process as in W (t, s) to generate the horisontal variation Fouques,Krogstad,Myrhaug,Socquet-Juglard (24), Gjøsund (2,23) Aberg, Lindgren, Lindgren (26,27,28,29,2), Guerrin (29) ( ) X (t, s) Σ(t, s) = = s + H(θ, κ) e i(κs ωt) dζ(κ, ω) Y (t, s) where the filter function H depends on water depth h: H(θ, κ) = i cosh κh sinh κh ( ) cos θ sin θ Lindgren and Lindgren (LU and BATH) Asymmetric Lagrange waves March 23 9 / 32

10 The stochastic 3D Lagrange model The free Lagrange model The stochastic Lagrange model The 3D stochastic first order Lagrange wave model is the triple of Gaussian processes (W (t, s), Σ(t, s)) = (W (t, s), X (t, s), Y (t, s)) All covariance functions and auto-spectral and cross-spectral density functions for Σ(t, s) follow from the orbital spectrum S(ω, θ) and the filter equation. Space wave : keep time coordinate fixed Time wave : keep space coordinate (X (t, s), Y (t, s)) fixed This will (later) lead us to a "Palm type" problem what are the distributions of (W (t, s), Σ(t, s)) when (X (t, s), Y (t, s)) = (, ), say.

12 The stochastic 3D Lagrange model The free Lagrange model Ocean waves need a direction The free Lagrange waves are peaked but they have no preferred direction! Lindgren and Lindgren (LU and BATH) Asymmetric Lagrange waves March 23 2 / 32

13 Front-back asymmetry The modified Lagrange model Front-back asymmetric Lagrange waves To get realistic front-back asymmetry one needs a model with external input from wind, for example, by a parameter α: 2 X (t, s) t 2 = 2 X M (t, s) t 2 + αw (t, s) The filter function from vertical W (t, u) to horizontal X (t, u) is then H(ω) = i cosh κh sinh κh + α ( iω) 2 = ρ(ω) eiθ(ω), Implies an extra phase shift (θ = π/2 in the free model) X (t, u) = u + e i(κu ωt+θ(ω)) ρ(ω), dζ(ω, κ) Lindgren and Lindgren (LU and BATH) Asymmetric Lagrange waves March 23 3 / 32

17 The 3D-model and the generalized Rice formula Explicit definitions Explicit definitions I The model (W (t, s), Σ(t, s)) = (W (t, s), X (t, s), Y (t, s)) is an implicitly defined model. The space and time models (for time = t ) can be made explicit by s = Σ (t, (x, y)) equal to the reference point that is mapped to the observation point (x, y). Note: There may be many solutions to Σ(t, s) = (x, y). Lindgren and Lindgren (LU and BATH) Asymmetric Lagrange waves March 23 7 / 32
