  • Abstract
    In this note, we examine the extraction of energy from waves by the turbulence in the upper ocean as one possible physical mechanism for the attenuation of swell as it propagates across an ocean basin. We derive a simple expression for the swell attenuation rate that is of potential use in wave forecast models.
