A bimodal angular distribution of the wind wave energy and its effect on the acoustic noise generated by the sea surface

Acoustic bulletin, Vol. 9 ¹ 1, (2006) p.40-44
The model of sound radiation by the sea surface suggested by Academician Brekhovskikh has been developed. Dependence of sound radiation intensity on the angular distribution of the surface waves energy is shown. it is shown in the framework of bimodal angular distribution modal suggested by Longuet-Higgins that the main contribution to the sound radiation is made by the waves propagating at the angle of about π/2 to the wind direction.
KEY WORDS:
