[Introduction] Monopile foundation is currently the most widely used support structure for offshore wind farms. For offshore wind farms in the medium water depth area such as Dafeng, Binhai and Sheyang in China, the design waves are very close to the ...

A global climatology of wind–wave interaction [PDF]
Generally, ocean waves are thought to act as a drag on the surface wind so that momentum is transferred downwards, from the atmosphere into the waves.

Sea spray volume flux estimation using joint statistics of wind and waves
This article provides estimates of the sea spray volume flux using joint statistics of wind and waves. This is achieved by combining the sea spray volume flux parameterization proposed by Xu et al.

Evolution of Alfven wave-driven solar winds to red giants [PDF]
In this talk we introduce our recent results of global 1D MHD simulations for the acceleration of solar and stellar winds. We impose transverse photospheric motions corresponding to the granulations, which generate outgoing Alfven waves. The Alfven waves

Infragravity Wave Energy Partitioning in the Surf Zone in Response to Wind-Sea and Swell Forcing
An alongshore array of pressure sensors and a cross-shore array of current velocity and pressure sensors were deployed on a barred beach in southwestern Australia to estimate the relative response of edge waves and leaky waves to variable incident wind ...

Analysis of the effect of fish oil on wind waves and implications for air–water interaction studies [PDF]
Surfactant layers with viscoelastic properties floating on the water surface dampen short gravity-capillary waves. Taking advantage of the known virtue of fish oil to still angry seas, a laboratory study has been made to analyse wind-wave generation and ...

On quasi-parallel whistler waves in the solar wind
The recent simulations showed that the whistler heat flux instability, which presumably produces the most of quasi-parallel coherent whistler waves in the solar wind, is not efficient in regulating the electron heat conduction.

Dynamical ocean forcing of the Madden-Julian Oscillation at lead times of up to five months [PDF]
We show that a simple three-dimensional ocean model linearised about a resting basic state can accurately simulate the dynamical ocean response to wind forcing by the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO).

Wave Overtopping over Coastal Structures with Oblique Wind and Swell Waves
Most guidelines on wave overtopping over coastal structures are based on conditions with waves from one direction only. Here, wave basin tests with oblique wave attack are presented where waves from one direction are combined with waves from another ...

Long-period unstable gravity-waves and associated VHF radar echoes [PDF]
VHF atmospheric radar is used to measure the wind velocity and radar echo power related to long-period wind perturbations, including gravity waves, which are observed commonly in the lower stratosphere and tropopause region, and sometimes in the ...
