Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976 The sight and sound of breaking waves and surf is so familiar and enjoyable that we tend to forget how little we really understand about them. Why is it, that compared to other branches of wave studies our knowledge of breaking waves is so empirical and inexact?

On C-Band Quad-Polarized Synthetic Aperture Radar Properties of Ocean Surface Currents
Remote Sensing, 2019 We present new results for ocean surface current signatures in dual co- and cross-polarized synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. C-band RADARSAT-2 quad-polarized SAR ocean scenes are decomposed into resonant Bragg scattering from regular (non-breaking)

Laboratory study of energy transformation characteristics in breaking wave groups
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe spilling-breaking waves that appear in chirped wave packets are studied in a two-dimensional wave channel. These waves are produced by superposing waves with gradually decreasing frequencies.

Confronting SO(10) GUTs with proton decay and gravitational waves
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Grand Unified Theories (GUT) predict proton decay as well as the formation of cosmic strings which can generate gravitational waves. We determine which non-supersymmetric SO(10) breaking chains provide gauge unification in addition to a gravitational ...

Characteristics of Breaking Wave Forces on Piles over a Permeable Seabed
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Most offshore wind turbines are installed in shallow water and exposed to breaking waves. Previous numerical studies focusing on breaking wave forces generally ignored the seabed permeability.
