A Combined Stokes Drift Profile under Swell and Wind Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A combined directional Stokes drift profile for swell and wind sea is presented. The profile can be used to calculate the shear under crossing seas and as such is relevant for Langmuir turbulence and Stokes–Coriolis forcing, ...
Wave Extremes in the Northeast Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he objective of this study is to compute 100-yr return value estimates of significant wave height using a new hindcast developed by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. This regional hindcast covers the northeast Atlantic ...
Wind and Wave Extremes from Atmosphere and Wave Model Ensembles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe present work develops an innovative approach to wind speed and significant wave height extreme value analysis. The approach is based on global atmosphere?wave model ensembles, the members of which are propagated ...
Global Wind Speed and Wave Height Extremes Derived from Long-Duration Satellite Records
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The application of extreme-value analysis to long-duration (30 year) global altimeter and radiometer datasets is considered. In contrast to previous extreme-value analyses of satellite data, the dataset is sufficiently ...
Approximate Stokes Drift Profiles in Deep Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: deep-water approximation of the Stokes drift velocity profile is explored as an alternative to the monochromatic profile. The alternative profile investigated relies on the same two quantities required for the monochromatic ...
Untitled
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Lagrangian Analysis Tool (LAGRANTO) is adopted and applied to ECMWF?s latest ocean reanalysis. The primary motivation behind this study is to introduce and document LAGRANTO Ocean (LAGRANTO.ocean) and explore ...
Marine Wind and Wave Height Trends at Different ERA-Interim Forecast Ranges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rends in marine wind speed and significant wave height are investigated using the global reanalysis ERA-Interim over the period 1979?2012, based on monthly-mean and monthly-maximum data. Besides the traditional reanalysis, ...
Wave Modulation in a Strong Tidal Current and Its Impact on Extreme Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Wave Extremes in the Northeast Atlantic from Ensemble Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: method for estimating return values from ensembles of forecasts at advanced lead times is presented. Return values of significant wave height in the northeast Atlantic, the Norwegian Sea, and the North Sea are computed ...
Global Stokes Drift Climate under the RCP8.5 Scenario
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The future Stokes drift climate is investigated using a global wave climate projection (2071?2100) forced with EC-EARTH winds under the RCP8.5 scenario. The future climate run is compared against a historical run (1976?2005). ...
