English term or phrase: bottom friction
en un texto sobre una empresa que brinda servicios meteocenográficos aparece lo siguiente:

The governing equations of the Wavewatch III wave model include refraction and straining of the wave field due to temporal and spatial variations of the mean water depth and of the mean current (tides, surges etc.), when applicable.

Parameterizations of physical processes (source terms) include wave growth and decay due to the actions of wind, nonlinear resonant interactions, dissipation (whitecapping) and bottom friction.
