In 1960, Dr. George Deacon ofthe National Institute ofOceanography
in England organized a meeting in Easton, Maryland that summarized
the state of our understanding at that time of ocean wave
statistics and dynamics. It was a pivotal occasion: spectral
techniques for wave measurement were beginning to be used,
wave-wave interactions hadjust been discovered, and simple models
for the growth of waves by wind were being developed. The meeting
laid the foundation for much work that was to follow, but one could
hardly have imagined the extent to which new techniques of
measurement, particularly by remote sensing, new methods of
calculation and computation, and new theoretical and laboratory
results would, in the following twenty years, build on this base.
When Gaspar Valenzuela of the V. S. Naval Research Laboratory
perceived that the time was right for a second such meeting, it was
natural that Sir George Deacon would be invited to serve as
honorary chairman for the meeting, and the entire waves community
was delighted at his acceptance. The present volume contains
reviewed and edited papers given at this second meeting, held this
time in Miami, Florida, May 13-20, 1981, with the generous support
of the Office of Naval Research, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.
