Waves. When directly generated and affected by local winds, a wind wave system is called a wind sea. After the wind ceases to blow, wind waves are called swells. More generally, a swell consists of wind generated waves that are not significantly affected by the local wind at that time. They have been created elsewhere or a long time ago. Wind waves on the ocean are called ocean waves. These wind waves can also have a negative effect, where on . RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ROUGHNESS LENGTH, STATIC STABILITY, AND DRAG COEFFICIENT IN A DUNE ENVIRONMENT. Introduction to the subject. Drag (Wind) coefficient- quantifies the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment such as air or water. . :. Waves . *Refer to Chapter . 12 . in your Textbook . Learning Goals. : .
