Wave Modeling—Missing the Peaks (2009, background): “Two second-order effects, but relevant at the level of accuracy we are presently discussing, are the proper consideration of the Stokes drift (Stokes 1847) and of the ocean currents in the estimate of the true wind speed with respect to the sea surface, hence to waves.”
Observations of Cross-Shelf Flow Driven by Cross-Shelf Winds on the Inner Continental Shelf (2008, background): “In particular, waves induce a net particle velocity, the Stokes drift ust(z, t) [see (6)], in the direction of wave propagation (Stokes 1847), as in Fig.”
Surface Wave Effects in the NEMO Ocean Model: Forced and Coupled Experiments (2015, background): “s distributed. The derivation is presented in the appendix. 6 2.5 The Stokes-Coriolis forcing Waves set up a Lagrangian displacement v s in the down-wave direction known as the Stokes drift velocity (Stokes, 1847). Although it decays rapidly with depth, it can be substantial near the surface (|v s| ”
