Unstructured global to coastal wave modeling for the Energy Exascale Earth System Model using WAVEWATCH III version 6.07 [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2021
Wind-wave processes have generally been excluded from coupled Earth system models due to the high computational expense of spectral wave models, which resolve a frequency and direction spectrum of waves across space and time.

An Efficient Method for Simulating Typhoon Waves Based on a Modified Holland Vortex Model

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
A combination of the WAVEWATCH III (WW3) model and a modified Holland vortex model is developed and studied in the present work. The Holland 2010 model is modified with two improvements: the first is a new scaling parameter, bs, that is formulated with ...

Langmuir mixing effects on global climate: WAVEWATCH III in CESM [PDF]

Ocean Modelling, 2016
Abstract Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) have shown the effects of ocean surface gravity waves in enhancing the ocean boundary layer mixing through Langmuir turbulence. Neglecting this Langmuir mixing process may contribute to the common shallow bias in mixed layer depth in regions of the Southern Ocean and the Northern Atlantic in most state-of-the-art

Twenty-first century wave climate projections for Ireland and surface winds in the North Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

Advances in Science and Research, 2016
Ireland has a highly energetic wave and wind climate, and is therefore uniquely placed in terms of its ocean renewable energy resource. The socio-economic importance of the marine resource to Ireland makes it critical to quantify how the wave and wind ...

Increasing Frequency of Coastal Erosion Indicated by a Hindcast Model of Storm‐Driven Forcing Calibrated With Beach Stratigraphy

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Beach stratigraphy at North Beach, Sandy Hook, New Jersey is used to calibrate a model of coastal erosion, establish a model‐based erosion threshold, and evaluate how often threshold conditions have been exceeded since 1979 through hindcast analysis.

Redistribution of Sediment and Particulate Mercury Within Upstream Reaches of Galveston Bay in Response to Hurricane Harvey

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Extreme storms and flooding can remobilize legacy contaminants stored in the sediment bed; however, event‐scale models that resolve the transport of these materials remain underdeveloped. This study developed a numerical model of contaminated sediment transport during Hurricane Harvey (August 2017), which struck the upstream reaches of ...

Assessment of Ocean Swell Height Observations from Sentinel-1A/B Wave Mode against Buoy In Situ and Modeling Hindcasts

Remote Sensing, 2022
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in wave mode is a powerful tool for monitoring sea states in terms of long-period ocean swells of a specific wave directional partition. Since 2016, SARs aboard Sentinel-1A/B operating in wave mode have provided ocean swell

On the Tropical Nature of an Intense Mediterranean Cyclone in the Ocean‐Atmosphere System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Mediterranean basin hosts a large number of cyclones every year. Among them, some rare cases named medicanes present similarities with tropical cyclones but their dynamical characteristics are debated. The ocean‐atmosphere dynamics of Medicane Ianos (2020) are studied here through km‐scale fully coupled ocean‐wave‐atmosphere simulations ...

UNSTRUCTURED WAVEWATCH III DEVELOPMENTS FOR MULTISCALE MODELING

Coastal Engineering Proceedings
The US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is working collaboratively with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), BGS ITandE GmbH, and the French Naval Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (Shom) to extend the spectral wave modeling with WAVEWATCH III (WW3) (WW3DG 2019) from global and basin scales (e.g., ERDC ...

Rapid Changes in Ocean Surface Waves Across the Eye of Hurricane Milton (2024)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Two wave buoys deployed in the direct path of Hurricane Milton show a remarkable reduction in significant wave height and peak wave period as the eye of the storm passes and wind speeds are briefly reduced. The rapid adjustment of the waves to the lower wind speeds is initially unexpected, but is explained by the observed changes in the scalar
