 Wave–current interaction

Wave–current interaction refers to the complex interplay between surface waves (such as ocean waves) and underlying currents (such as tidal or river currents). This interaction affects both the dynamics of the waves and the currents, influencing various physical processes in the marine environment. Here are some key aspects of wave-current interaction: 1. **Wave Growth and Damping**: When waves propagate in the presence of currents, their speed and height can be altered.
