The third generation spectral WAve Model (WAM) integrates the basic transport equation describing the evolution of a two-dimensional ocean wave spectrum without additional ad hoc assumptions regarding the spectral shape. The three source functions describing the wind input, nonlinear transfer, and white-capping dissipation are prescribed explicitly. An additional bottom dissipation source function and refraction terms are included in the finite-depth version of the model.
