Large-eddy simulation of an atmospheric bore and associated gravity wave effects on wind farm performance in the southern Great Plains [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy Science
Gravity waves are a common occurrence in the atmosphere, with a variety of generation mechanisms. Their impact on wind farms has only recently gained attention, with most studies focused on wind farm-induced gravity waves.

The Impact of Sea State Condition on Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Due to a large number of available Airborne Lidar Bathymetry (ALB) survey datasets and scheduled future surveys, there is a growing need from coastal mapping communities to estimate the accuracy of ALB as a function of the survey system and environmental

Constraining Low-Frequency Alfvenic Turbulence in the Solar Wind Using Density Fluctuation Measurements

open access: yes, 2009
One proposed mechanism for heating the solar wind, from close to the sun to beyond 10 AU, invokes low-frequency, oblique, Alfven-wave turbulence. Because small-scale oblique Alfven waves (kinetic Alfven waves) are compressive, the measured density ...

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 ...

Seasonal Variability of Wind Sea and Swell Waves Climate along the Canary Current: The Local Wind Effect

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018
A climatology of wind sea and swell waves along the Canary eastern boundary current area, from west Iberia to Mauritania, is presented. The study is based on the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis ERA-Interim.

Deterministic numerical modelling of three-dimensional rogue waves on large scale with presence of wind [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Oceanic rogue waves are a subject of great interest and can cause devastating consequences. Rogue waves are abnormal in that they stand out from the waves that surround them.

Wind Wave Growth

open access: yesNatural Science, 2021
A recent formula for the lift force on a low speed wing of circular arc cross-section [1] is adapted to the upward pressure force on the crests of a surface gravity wave propagating in the wind. In both cases, the main feature is the utilization of the air’s compressibility.

Paper waves in the wind

open access: yes, 2015
A flexible sheet clamped at both ends and submitted to a permanent wind is unstable and propagates waves. Here, we experimentally study the selection of frequency and wavenumber as a function of the wind velocity.

Turbulent wind waves on a water current [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Geosciences, 2008
An analytical model of water waves generated by the wind over the water surface is presented. A simple modeling method of wind waves is described based on waves lengths diagram, azimuthal hodograph of waves velocities and others.

Connecting the Sun and the Solar Wind: The First 2.5 Dimensional Self-consistent MHD Simulation under the Alfv\'en Wave Scenario

open access: yes, 2012
The solar wind emanates from the hot and tenuous solar corona. Earlier studies using 1.5 dimensional simulations show that Alfv\'{e}n waves generated in the photosphere play an important role in coronal heating through the process of non-linear mode ...
