= Wind-wave dissipation
{wiki=Wind-wave_dissipation}
Wind-wave dissipation refers to the process by which energy from wind-generated waves is lost due to various physical mechanisms. When waves are generated by wind, they carry energy across the surface of the water. However, this energy does not remain indefinitely; it dissipates over time and distance due to several factors, including: 1. **Frictional Losses**: As waves move through the water, they encounter friction against the water surface and the seabed, resulting in energy loss.
