Semiempirical Dissipation Source Functions for Ocean Waves. Part I: Definition, Calibration, and Validation (2009, background): “Also, breaking is intricately related to the complex non-linear evolution of the waves (e.g. Banner and Peirson 2007).”
Capillary effects on wave breaking (2015, background): “When breaking is triggered by modulational instabilities, plunging waves can be observed for initial slopes ≈ 0.11 (Melville 1982; Tulin & Waseda 1999; Song & Banner 2002; Banner & Peirson 2007; Iafrati et al. 2013).”
Spectrally Resolved Energy Dissipation Rate and Momentum Flux of Breaking Waves (2008, methodology): “Here we take 0.9, based on wave tank results (Banner and Peirson 2007), which is a slightly weaker reduction than 0.8 assumed in Melville and Matusov (2002).”
Inertial scaling of dissipation in unsteady breaking waves (2008, methodology): “During the final preparation of this paper we became aware of similar experiments by Banner & Peirson (2007) concentrating on the threshold for breaking at lower wave slopes, using a measure of the rate of focusing of wave energy to correlate measurements of b. We discuss the significance of these”
