9402241 Hara The dynamics of wind-generated capillary gravity waves and the impact of surface films on the generation and evolution of these waves will be studied by analyzing the results of a extensive laboratory experiment. The analysis will be focussed on both the stationary stage of the wave spectrum at different wind speeds and surfactant concentration and the unsteady response of the wave field to abrupt change in wind speed.
