11. However, a heavy surf advisory remains in effect for the remaining swells combined with wind waves . 12. Wind waves also act to modify atmospheric properties through frictional drag of near-surface winds and heat fluxes.13. When directly generated and affected by local winds, a wind wave system is called a wind sea. 14. Wind wave models are also an important part of examining the impact of shore protection and beach nourishment proposals.15. Wind waves have a certain amount of randomness : subsequent waves differ in height, duration, and shape with limited predictability.16. The paths of water molecules in a wind wave are circular only when the wave is traveling in deep water. 17. An example of such an interface is that between the atmosphere and the ocean, which gives rise to wind waves . 18. Altimetry data from satellites, such as GEOSAT and TOPEX, can also be used to infer the characteristics of wind waves . 19.
