Wind Waves in the Coupled Climate System

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2012
The role waves play in modulating interactions between oceans and atmosphere is emphasized. All exchanges (e.g., momentum, energy, heat, mass, radiation fluxes) are influenced by the geometrical and physical characteristics of the ocean surface, which separates the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers.

Wave Climate Characteristics

2018
The ocean wave has a significant impact on the safety and cost of navigation, wave energy resources development, seawall design, ocean engineering, island and reef construction, disaster prevention and reduction, air-sea interaction, global climate change and so on. Previous researchers have made a great contribution to the wave climate analysis of the

A Third Wave in the Economics of Climate Change

Environmental and Resource Economics, 2015
Modelling the economics of climate change is daunting. Many existing methodologies from social and physical sciences need to be deployed, and new modelling techniques and ideas still need to be developed. Existing bread-and-butter micro- and macroeconomic tools, such as the expected utility framework, market equilibrium concepts and representative ...

Wave energy resources: Wave climate and exploitation

Renewable Energy, 2013
Abstract In identifying the most convenient zones for harvesting wave energy, it is natural to be attracted by the areas where we find the highest mean energy values. The obvious examples are the storm belts. A more careful analysis reveals that for practical use other factors need to be taken into account. Some of the main ones are the energy spread

Wave Climate and the Wave Power Resource

1986
Wave climate statistics are reviewed from the wave power engineer’s point of view. It is emphasised that there is no fixed answer to the question “What do we need to know about the wave power resource ?” but rather a feedback loop between our knowledge and the development of any particular type of wave power device.

Surfing wave climate variability

Global and Planetary Change, 2014
Abstract International surfing destinations are highly dependent on specific combinations of wind–wave formation, thermal conditions and local bathymetry. Surf quality depends on a vast number of geophysical variables, and analyses of surf quality require the consideration of the seasonal, interannual and long-term variability of surf conditions on a
