Abstract:

A new estimate of the Stokes drift is made based on a model that earlier predicted the pressure fluctuations of surface gravity waves to die away with increasing depth significantly faster than the velocity fluctuations do. At the surface, the Stokes drift is calculated to be very nearly twice the classical value of 1847. Measurements will be needed to decide which value comes closer to the truth.
