The variability of the surface wind field in the equatorial Pacific Ocean: Criteria for satellite measurements [PDF]
, 1984 The natural variability of the equatorial Pacific surface wind field is described from long period surface wind measurements made at three sites along the equator (95 deg W, 109 deg 30 W, 152 deg 30 W). The data were obtained from surface buoys moored in

Evaluating the Validity of Quasi-Static Analysis for Prediction of Vessel Mooring Line Forces
International Journal of Maritime Technology, 2013 Quasi-Static analysis of moored vessels is vastly used for engineering designs, as a substitute to the numerical simulation of dynamic mooring analysis. Yet, the level of validity of the results of quasi-static analysis is a matter of discussion.
