Wind Waves [PDF]

, 2018
Wind-generated waves dominate sea surface motions for periods shorter than 300 seconds. Waves are of interest for many applications ranging from navigation safety to ocean and coastal engineering. Waves also define air-sea fluxes and have important interactions with surface currents, upper ocean turbulence, and sea ice.

Dynamic Response of Marine Pile Foundation Under Combined Action of Wind and Wave Loads

Shanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebao, 2021
In order to study the dynamic response of a single pile foundation under combined action of wind and wave loads in the marine environment, a three-dimensional unidirectional coupling numerical model of wind wave-seabed-single pile is established.

Probability-based wind-wave relation

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
In a fully developed sea, the significant wave height (Hs) and wind speed (U10) are conventionally related to a pure quadratic equation. This relation is often violated, since in the field the measured local Hs is often contaminated by the swell, which ...

A two-parameter wind speed algorithm for Ku-band altimeters [PDF]

, 2002
Globally distributed crossovers of altimeter and scatterometer observations clearly demonstrate that ocean altimeter backscatter correlates with both the near-surface wind speed and the sea state.

Unsteady Evolution Law and Evaluation Index of Shallow Sea Wind-Wave-Current-Seabed Coupling Field

Shanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebao, 2023
There is a strong real-time coupling between seabed topography and wave field, current field and wind field in shallow water area. The existing analysis model cannot directly consider the influence factors of seabed, and it is more difficult to explain ...

On the feasibility of the use of wind SAR to downscale waves on shallow water [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2016
In recent years, wave reanalyses have become popular as a powerful source of information for wave climate research and engineering applications. These wave reanalyses provide continuous time series of offshore wave parameters; nevertheless, in coastal ...

Three-dimensional spatial structures of solar wind turbulence from 10 000-km to 100-km scales [PDF]

, 2011
Using the four Cluster spacecraft, we have determined the three-dimensional wave-vector spectra of fluctuating magnetic fields in the solar wind. Three different solar wind intervals of Cluster data are investigated for this purpose, representing ...

Fluctuating wind and wave simulations and its application in structural analysis of a semi-submersible offshore platform

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2019
A semi-submersible offshore platform always operates under complex weather conditions, especially wind and waves. It is vital to analyze the structural dynamic responses of the platform in short-term sea states under the combined wind and wave loads ...
