Quantifying tropical-cyclone-generated waves in extreme-value-derived design for offshore wind [PDF]

Wind Energy Science
Wave extreme values, such as significant wave height, peak period, and crest height, are central to design and operation practices for offshore wind structures.

Fast northward energy transfer in the Atlantic due to Agulhas rings [PDF]

, 2007
The adiabatic transit time of wave energy radiated by an Agulhas ring released in the South Atlantic Ocean to the North Atlantic Ocean is investigated in a two-layer ocean model.

A Characterisation of Extreme‐Heat Occurrence and Its Trends in Mexico Based on a High Resolution Dataset

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
As Mexico faces rising temperatures and increasing events of extreme heat, improvements in the analysis and characterisation of these phenomena are necessary, as they offer new insights into the spatial variability of such trends and their underlying causes.

The wintering shorebirds (Aves, Charadrii) in Mauritania: principal species, and wetlands of major importance

Revue Marocaine des Sciences Agronomiques et Vétérinaires, 2013
The analysis of the distribution wintering waders in Mauritania demonstrated that most of these birds (77 %) are distributed on the Atlantic coast. In fact, this is mainly along this coast that the habitat preferences of this group (sand, mudflats, and ...

Practical suggestions for the commercialisation of fishery production in Ondo State [PDF]

, 1993
The paper examines the fisheries resources and activities in Ondo State, Nigeria. As a result of the geographical advantage via location along the Atlantic coast the potentials and constraints of coastal artisanal fisheries in Ondo State are assessed ...

Characteristics of Intense Multi‐Day Wet Spells Over West Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The study reveals a significant increase in intense wet spells, particularly in KASS‐D, emphasising the value of dense rain‐gauge networks. Larger‐sized events have grown, while smaller ones declined, boosting 3‐day and 5‐day wet spells' contribution to annual rainfall, with the Guinea Coast showing the highest increase and the Sahel the lowest ...

Stochastic Modelling of Daily Precipitation in Semi‐Arid Regions Using Markov Chains and Parametric Distributions

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study applies stochastic rainfall models combining Markov Chains with gamma and mixed exponential distributions to a semi‐arid climate in Northeast Brazil. Model structures were evaluated using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), with maximum likelihood (MLM) for parameter estimation and cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) for validation ...
