Abstract: he complex process of surface wave propagation over areas of cohesive sediments has generally been treated by assuming a particular rheological behavior for the mud layer, thereby fixing the description of the mud ...

Abstract: A Bayesian inverse framework is developed to optimize the skill of a predictive numerical model via interpolation of bathymetric measurements to provide the most probable bathymetric surface. The numerical model is a coupled ...

Abstract: he effects of bathymetry on the process of wind-wave generation in the Persian Gulf have been investigated using a long-term hindcasting analysis. A 5-yr (2004?08) hindcasting procedure is first performed (denoted as origin) ...

Abstract: verhead video from a small number of laboratory tests conducted by Kaihatu et al. at the Tsunami Wave Basin at Oregon State University shows that the breaking point of a shoaling solitary wave shifts to deeper water if ...

Abstract: his paper describes the use of an optimization method to effectively reduce the required bathymetric sampling for forcing a numerical forecast model by using the model?s sensitivity to this input. A genetic algorithm is ...

Abstract: Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis has been widely used in meteorology and oceanography to extract dominant modes of behavior in scalar and vector datasets. For analysis of two-dimensional vector fields, such as ...
