Zusammenfassung:
A more efficient method of computing the nonlinear transfer in a surface wave spectrum is developed which is symmetrical with respect to all wavenumbers of the resonant interaction quadruplets. This enables a large number of computations to be carried out, as required for investigations of the spectral energy balance or the development of parameterizations. New results are presented for finite-depth surface waves. By filtering out regions in interaction phase space, the assumptions involved in the narrow-peak and local-interaction approx-imations are investigated. Both approximations are found to be useful but are generally not sufficiently accurate to replace exact computations or provide adequate parameterizations for wave models.
