We have studied the effect of randomness on the stability of interfacial gravity waves on deep water in the presence of uniform wind flow. The fourth-order nonlinear evolution equations for two Stokes wavetrains are used here to obtain the wave-kinetic equations for narrow-band of gravity wavetrains...
