Two expressions for the nonlinear dispersion relation for gravity waves on water of constant depth are derived, one for wave fields with discrete amplitude spectra, the other for wave fields with continuous wavenumber energy spectra. Numerical examples for wave quartets and for two-dimensional Pierson–Moskowitz spectra are given, and an important possible application is discussed.
