Аннотация:Modeling of the formation of an ocean wave system based on a space image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the “Uragan” (Hurricane) space experiment was performed. Due to the fact that the area of the ocean was known approximately, the simulation of wave excitation and propagation was performed for two cases: in the framework of the theory of long waves and for the ocean of infinite depth. Numerous calculations made it possible to achieve a similarity between the modeled wave system and the original one shown on the photo. This allowed us to confirm the hypothesis about the impulse nature of the initial disturbance necessary for the formation of such a phenomenon and determine its physical parameters. The model allows us to predict the development of such phenomena. Unfortunately, one static image does not allow us to judge the dynamics of the recorded phenomenon.
