Suppression of Wind Ripples and Microwave Backscattering Due to Turbulence Generated by Breaking Surface Waves

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
The role of wave breaking in microwave backscattering from the sea surface is a problem of great importance for the development of theories and methods on ocean remote sensing, in particular for oil spill remote sensing.

Tsunami generation by paddle motion and its interaction with a beach: Lagrangian modelling and experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A 2D Lagrangian numerical wave model is presented and validated against a set of physical wave-flume experiments on interaction of tsunami waves with a sloping beach. An iterative methodology is proposed and applied for experimental generation of tsunami-

Kinematics of Breaking Waves

open access: yesCoastal 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?

Breaking wave solutions of a short wave model

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2019
In this paper, the breaking wave solutions of a short wave model is investigated by employing the bifurcation method of dynamical systems. All possible explicit breaking kink wave solutions and compacton solutions are obtained. Dynamical analysis reveals

Finite volume schemes for dispersive wave propagation and runup [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Finite volume schemes are commonly used to construct approximate solutions to conservation laws. In this study we extend the framework of the finite volume methods to dispersive water wave models, in particular to Boussinesq type systems. We focus mainly

Mechanism analysis of internal solitary waves breaking encountering submarine ridges based on laboratory experiments

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2023
Internal solitary waves are commonly present in global oceans, and these waves encounter submarine ridges during their propagation, resulting in breaking.

Effects of Rossby Waves Breaking and Atmospheric Blocking Formation on the Extreme Forest Fire and Floods in Eastern Siberia 2019

open access: yesFire, 2023
In 2019, the southern region of Eastern Siberia (located between 45° N and 60° N) experienced heavy floods, while the northern region (between 60° N and 75° N) saw intense forest fires that lasted for almost the entire summer, from 25 June to 12 August ...
