Abstract
The effect of quasi-oscillations in the wind-wave spectrum on its low-frequ ency evolution is assessed by numerically solving the kinetic equation that takes into account weakly nonlinear interactions in the spectrum. It is sh own that quasi-oscillations are responsible for a significant enhancement o f the effect of weakly nonlinear wave development. A parametrization that m akes it possible to Consider this effect in spectral models of wind waves i s proposed.
