  The paper by Beya et al. (2012, hereinafter BPB) has a general title of
Turbulence Beneath Finite Amplitude Water Waves, but is solely dedicated to
discussing the experiment by Babanin and Haus (2009, hereinafter BH) who
conducted measurements of wave-induced non-breaking turbulence by particle
image velocimetry (PIV). The authors of BPB conclude that their observations
contradict those of BH. Here we argue that the outcomes of BPB do not
contradict BH. In addition, although the main conclusion of BPB is that there
is no turbulence observed in their experiment, it actually is observed.
