Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 128, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Extreme significant wave height estimates, and their probability of exceedance, are fundamental offshore and coastal engineering design parameters. These estimates are characterized by uncertainty due to an incomplete understanding of the atmosphere‐ocean energy and momentum exchanges during intense storms.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 128, Issue 15, 16 August 2023., 2023 Abstract This study contributes to the communal effort to improve understanding of sea spray generation and transport. For the first time, laboratory‐derived sea spray generation functions (SSGFs) are parameterized in the Meso‐NH mesoscale atmospheric model and are field tested.

Perspectives for directional spectra assimilation: Results from a study based on joint assimilation of CFOSAT synthetic wave spectra and observed SAR spectra from Sentinel-1A [PDF]
, 2016 International audienceWith a low cut-off for the directional wave spectra CFOSAT will impact both mixed sea and swell. The complementary use of CFOSAT and SAR wave spectra will enhance the impact of the assimilation and therefore induce a more accurate ...
