Uncertainties in Extreme Value Analysis of Wave Climate Data and Wave Climate Projections

Volume 3: Structures, Safety and Reliability, 2015
The extreme values of climate data are of interest in design of marine structures and the return values of certain met-ocean parameters such as significant wave height is of particular importance. However, there are various ways of analyzing the extremes and estimating the required return values, which introduce additional uncertainties.

Wave climate in a groin field

Ocean Engineering, 1992
Wave records at seven different locations within a groin field have been analysed by both statistical and spectral approaches to study the general wave climate. The wave heights and periods from the wave records were obtained by both upcross and downcross methods for the statistical approach.

Characteristics of the Infragravity Wave Climate

Volume 2: Structures, Safety and Reliability, 2008
Infragravity waves are very long period waves below the frequency of typical wind waves. They are most significant in shallow water locations and therefore have a high impact on the response of moored vessels. For the Oil and Gas business this can be an important consideration for tanker on/offloading operations (including LNG vessels) — these larger ...

Wave climate in Lake Peipsi

Journal of Coastal Research, 2013
ABSTRACT Nikolkina, I., Soomere, T., Didenkulova, I., 2013. Wave climate in Peipsi Lake. The main features of wave properties in relatively large but shallow Lake Peipsi (Estonia/Russia) are determined based on wave measurements at its western coast (58.75°N 27.1°E) in summer and autumn 2005–2007.

Wave Power Climate of Portugal

1986
The wave power available at the portuguese coast is evaluated by using three chronological series of wave records representing the northern and southern parts of the West coast and the South coast of Portugal. Analytical models for the annual mean spectra and probability distributions for wave power are derived.

Ocean Waves and the Atmospheric Climate

Journal of Climate, 1996
Abstract Ocean waves are generated by wind and, as a consequence, there is a considerable transfer of momentum from atmosphere to ocean. This momentum transfer depends, however, on the stage of development of the ocean waves. Ocean waves that are just generated by wind ("young” windsea) are usually steeper and are capable of extracting more momentum ...

Wave Climate of the Southern Ocean

2020
<p>Although the Southern Ocean is often viewed as a very remote area, it plays a critical role in global climate. Waves generated in intense Southern Ocean storms propagate across the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and define the wave climate for many areas of these oceans.

The Wave Climate of the Southern Ocean

Volume 7B: Ocean Engineering, 2019
Abstract An analysis of the wind and wave climate of the Southern Ocean is provided based on a combination of more than 30-years of satellite altimeter data plus insitu buoy measurements at 5 locations in the Southern Ocean. The analysis shows that the Southern Ocean is a unique environment where there are strong winds year-round which ...
