Analysis of the Global Swell and Wind Sea Energy Distribution Using WAVEWATCH III [PDF]
Advances in Meteorology, 2016 Over the past several decades, an increasing number of studies have focused on the global view of swell and wind sea climate. However, our understanding of wind sea and swell is still incomplete as is the lack of an integrated description for all the ...

Enhanced ocean wave modeling by including effect of breaking under both deep- and shallow-water conditions [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2023 Accurate description of the wind energy input into ocean waves is crucial to ocean wave modeling and a physics-based consideration on the effect of wave breaking is absolutely necessary to obtain such an accurate description.

Waves in SKRIPS: WAVEWATCH III coupling implementation and a case study of Tropical Cyclone Mekunu [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2023 In this work, we integrated the WAVEWATCH III model into the regional coupled model SKRIPS (Scripps–KAUST Regional Integrated Prediction System). The WAVEWATCH III model is implemented with flexibility, meaning the coupled system can run with or without ...

A Study of Wave-Induced Effects on Sea Surface Temperature Simulations during Typhoon Events
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 In this work, we investigate sea surface temperature (SST) cooling under binary typhoon conditions. We particularly focus on parallel- and cross-type typhoon paths during four typhoon events: Tembin and Bolaven in 2012, and Typhoon Chan-hom and Linfa in ...

Analysis of Dangerous Sea States in the Northwestern Mediterranean Area
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Extreme sea waves, although rare, can be notably dangerous when associated with energetic sea states and can generate risks for the navigation. In the last few years, they have been the object of extensive research from the scientific community that ...
