title: Experimental Research of Statistical Characteristics of Wind Wave Breaking
abstract: The results of characteristics' analysis of the wind wave breaking (length, velocity, direction) obtained in the Black Sea in September-October, 2015 from the oceanographic platform in Katsiveli are presented. Wave breaking was recorded by a video camera synchronously with the measurements of wind waves and meteorological parameters. The algorithm based on calculating the threshold determined at analyzing the distribution function of the video signal brightness was applied to identify breaking u
