dc.description.abstract | A deterministic system of ocean surface waves and flow in the oceanic boundary layer is key to understanding the dynamics of the upper ocean. For the description of such complex systems, a higher-order shear-current modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation is newly derived and then used to physically interpret the interplay between Stokes drift, Eulerian return flow due to a passing wave group, and an open-ocean vertically sheared flow in the extreme sea wave generation. The conditions for the suppression or enhancement of the modulation instability in the rogue wave dynamics in the presence of a background flow are reported, whose relevance and influence to the Craik-Leibovich type 2 instability in triggering a Langmuir-type circulation is discussed. The findings highlight the need for future studies to establish and assess the energy transfer from waves to currents or in the reversing order, asserting a plausible physical mechanism for the dissipation of the surface wave energy through wave-current interactions in the open ocean. | en_US |
