DESCRIPTION:Wave Turbulence (WT) refers to a statistical state
  of many dispersive modes which are weakly nonline
 ar on average. I will present the fundamental buil
 ding blocks of the WT theory\, assumptions and the
 ir justifications\, physical examples\, solved pro
 blems and open questions. I will describe some rec
 ent work which goes beyond the traditional WT cons
 ideration of the wave spectra\, and deals with wav
 e PDFs\, non-gaussianity\, intermittency. I will o
 utline picture of the WT cycle in which weak (on a
 verage) random waves can get transformed into stro
 ng coherent structures\, which in turn partially d
 issipate their energy and partially return it to t
 he incoherent waves.\nMy main aim will be to reach
  out to the stat mech community\, in hope to find 
 common points and approaches which could be employ
 ed for better understanding of the WT systems.
