Abstract
The effect of wind-generated gravity waves on the air flow is discussed using quasi-linear theory of wind-wave generation. In this theory both the effects of the waves and the effect of air turbulence on the mean wind profile is taken into account, but effects of turbulence on the wave-induced air motion are disregarded. In addition, effects of wave breaking on the air-sea momentum transfer are not considered. Nevertheless, this relatively simple model of the momentum transport from air to water is shown to produce realistic results.
