The small-amplitude waves generated by a submerged vorticity distribution on the surface of a viscous fluid are studied. The linearized initial-value problem is considered, and a closed-form solution for each monochromatic component is obtained. The results of the theory are illustrated by a numerical synthesis of these components for the case of a vortex filament in water.
