Abstract: cean wave spectra are complex. Because of this complexity, no widely accepted method has been developed for the comparison between two sets of paired wave spectra. A method for intercomparing wave spectra is developed based ...

Abstract: Buoy observations from a 1999 Gulf of Mexico field program (GOM99) are used to investigate the relationships among friction velocity u*, wind speed U, and amount of swell present. A U–u*sea parameterization is developed ...

Abstract: pectral wave parameters from 11 platforms, measured during the recent Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific (ITOP) experiment, are intercompared. Two moorings, separated by ~180 km, were deployed in a section of ...

Abstract: ne of the scientific objectives of the U.S. Office of Naval Research?sponsored Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific (ITOP) campaign was improved understanding of air?sea fluxes at high wind speeds. Here the authors ...
