Volodia is a nickname for Vladimir, and Vladimir Zakharov is a leader
in applying chaos theory to ocean waves.

Hello.

Thanks for your response. 

As indicated above, Vladimir Zakharov is a leader in applying chaos
theory to ocean waves. He's affiliated with the Landau Institute of
Theoretical Physics in Moscow:

To learn more about his theory of chaos in ocean waves, you might seek
out some of Professor Zakharov's writings on the subject, such as:

Nonlinear Waves and Weak Turbulence (American Mathematical Society
Translations Series 2)
by Vladimir Evgen'evich Zakharov
Book available through Amazon.com
