Abstract
We analyze modern operational models of wind wave prediction on the subject
for compliance dissipation. Our numerical simulations from the "first
principle" demonstrate that heuristic formulas for damping rate of free wind
sea due
to "white capping" (or wave breaking) dramatically exaggerates the role of
this effect in these models.
