The Multichannel ("Stroboscopic") Optical Spectrum Analyser (MOSA) allows us to carry out spatial Fourier analysis of the images of a ruffled water surface. One can show (see, Appendix) that the frequency spectrum s(co) = < i cof > (<...> denotes statistical averaging) of the MOSA signal i t) can be written in the form...
