wavespectra.partition.tracking.dfp_wsea(wspd: float, fp: float, dt: float, scaling: float = 1.0) → float

Rate of change of the wind-sea peak wave frequency. Based on fetch-limited relationships, (Ewans & Kibblewhite, 1986).

Parameters:

• wspd (float) – Wind speed (m/s)

• fp (float) – Peak wave frequency (Hz)

• dt (float) – Time duration (s)

• scaling (float) – Scaling parameter
