Title
Abstract
The irrotational wave-drift current associated with the one-dimensional eq uilibrium wave spectrum is calculated, and by comparison with observation, it is shown that in many situations this current may make an important contribution to surface-drift velocities. One of the interesting features of the irrotational current profile is a remarkable affinity to the logarithmic profile of similarity theory, both formally and quantitatively.
