| Zusammenfassung |
| We consider the natural processes of
wind-wave-breaking in the ocean in terms of fractal dimension. Digital
algorithms for the analysis of aircraft optical images are employed to
investigate spatial and statistical characteristics of foam streaks and
whitecaps. The new results are as follows: 1. the fractal dimension of the
wave-breaking set (foam streaks and whitecaps) depends on the ocean surface
state and changes from dH=1.05 to 1.25; 2. the fractal
dimension differs from foam streaks and whitecaps - ds=1.23
and 1.39, respectively. |
