Triton

 
Triton provides realistic visuals of waves for any given wind conditions or a specified Beaufort scale, and takes advantage of general-purpose GPU computing on systems using OpenGL. Triton also features the ability to seamlessly integrate with geocentric coordinate systems in addition to flat coordinate systems. The surface of Triton's sea may be configured to conform to a WGS84 ellipsoid, or a spherical model of the Earth.
You can get Triton at www.sundog-software.com
 
vsTASKER allows Triton to extent OSG scene by adding water surface to the terrain (but not necessarily), as Triton needs an IG to connect to.
Triton software and license must be requested from a proper vendor (Sundog-Software), as vsTASKER does not provide them nor behave as a reseller or does support line for the product.
