RISThe Andrea Wave Characteristics of a Measured North Sea Rogue Wave
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wave profiles have been measured with a system of four Optech lasers mounted on a bridge at the oil production site Ekofisk in the central North Sea since 2003, operated by ConocoPhillips. A double rogue wave was measured ...
Enthalpy Transfer across the Air–Water Interface in High Winds Including Spray
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ontrolled experiments were conducted in the Air?Sea Interaction Saltwater Tank (ASIST) at the University of Miami to investigate air?sea moist enthalpy transfer rates under various wind speeds (range of 0.6?39 m s?1 scaled ...
A Surface Wave Model for Coupling with Numerical Ocean Circulation Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A surface wave model is developed with the intention of coupling it to three-dimensional ocean circulation models. The model is based on a paper by Mellor wherein depth-dependent coupling terms were derived. To be compatible ...
The Air–Sea Momentum Flux in Conditions of Wind Sea and Swell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Surface Wave Dynamics Experiment, direct measurements of momentum, heat, and water vapor fluxes were obtained from a mast on the foredeck of a SWATH (small water-plane area, twin hull) ship in deep water off the ...
Evidence for the Effects of Swell and Unsteady Winds on Marine Wind Stress
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the past four decades much effort has been directed toward determining a parameterization of the sea surface drag coefficient on readily measurable quantities, such as mean wind speed and atmospheric stability. Although ...
Large Tank Evaluation of a GPS Wave Buoy for Wind Stress Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThere exists considerable disagreement among the observed values of the drag coefficient CD. To develop a model of CD, the wind stress generally will be calculated from the eddy correlation method. A buoy is suitable ...
Experimental Study on Wind-Wave Momentum Flux in Strongly Forced Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: quantitative description of wind-wave momentum transfer in high wind conditions is necessary for accurate wave models, storm and hurricane forecasting, and models that require atmosphere?ocean coupling such as circulation ...
Wave-Follower Field Measurements of the Wind-Input Spectral Function. Part I: Measurements and Calibrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experimental study of wind energy and momentum input into finite-depth wind waves was undertaken at Lake George, New South Wales, Australia. To measure microscale oscillations of induced pressure above surface waves, a ...
On the Dependence of Sea Surface Roughness on Wave Development
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The aerodynamic roughness of the sea surface, z0, is investigated using data from Lake Ontario, from the North Sea near the Dutch coast, and from an exposed site in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Nova Scotia. Scaling ...
Evidence of Energy and Momentum Flux from Swell to Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easurements of pressure near the surface in conditions of wind sea and swell are reported. Swell, or waves that overrun the wind, produces an upward flux of energy and momentum from waves to the wind and corresponding ...
