title = "What a Sudden Downpour Reveals About Wind Wave Generation",
abstract = "We use our previous numerical and measuring experience and the evidence from a rather unique episode at sea to summarise our doubts on the present physical approach in wave modelling. The evidence strongly suggests that generation by wind and dissipation by white-capping have a different physics than presently considered. Most of all they should be viewed as part of a single physical process.",

While we take full responsibility of what we state and suggest, we acknowledge the long discussions with many of our colleagues of the wave and atmosphere modelling community.
