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

open access: yesOcean 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 ...

The land–sea coastal border: a quantitative definition by considering the wind and wave conditions in a wave-dominated, micro-tidal environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A quantitative definition for the land–sea (coastal) transitional area is proposed here for wave-driven areas, based on the variability and isotropy of met-ocean processes.

Risk analysis for earth dam overtopping

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2008
In this paper, a model of overtopping risk under the joint effects of floods and wind waves, which is based on risk analysis theory and takes into account the uncertainties of floods, wind waves, reservoir capacity and discharge capacity of the spillway,

Semi-empirical dissipation source functions for ocean waves: Part I, definition, calibration and validation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
New parameterizations for the spectra dissipation of wind-generated waves are proposed. The rates of dissipation have no predetermined spectral shapes and are functions of the wave spectrum and wind speed and direction, in a way consistent with ...

A Sensitivity Analysis of the Wind Forcing Effect on the Accuracy of Large-Wave Hindcasting

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018
Deployment of wave energy converters (WECs) relies on consistent and accurate wave resource characterization, which is typically achieved through numerical modeling using deterministic wave models.

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

open access: yesInternational 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 ...
