This paper presents the results of a set of detailed experimental measurements on the resonant interaction of capillary-gravity waves for a case in which the entire propagation is in one direction. The influence of viscous attenuation is accounted for in the analysis. The measurements trace the entire spatial variation, or modulation envelope, of the amplitudes of the interacting modes from their inception near a wave-maker to their ultimate extinction through viscous dissipation, in excellent agreement with the theory. This is an unambiguous demonstration that at resonance and for the initial conditions specified at the wave-maker, a wave of uniform profile cannot exist.
