Annotation
The penetration of nonlinear wind waves into the depth of a liquid is investigated in a laboratory channel. It is found that the amplitude of nonlinear waves on deep water depends only on the wave steepness normalized by the wave length. An expression is found that connects the growth of the wave mass with the wave steepness.
