Question:

In the JONSWAP model, the energy transferred to the moving ocean surface waters is proportional to the distance over which wind travels (fetch, F). For a steady wind at 10 m/s compute the rate of energy transfer per unit area to the ocean’s surface. What fraction of the energy of the wind in the 100 meters over the ocean’s surface is transferred to the ocean with a fetch of 200 km?
