Abstract: Optimal design and reassessment of offshore structures requires a good understanding of the ocean environment. The motion of the sea surface can be viewed as a three-dimensional, nonlinear ...

Abstract: trend analysis was applied to a 14-yr time series of downwelling spectral infrared radiance observations from the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) located at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program ...

Abstract: Random simulations are often used to simulate the statistics of storm-driven waves. Work on Gaussian linear random signals has lead to a method for embedding a large wave into a random sequence ...

Abstract: Spaceborne measurements pinned to international standards are needed to monitor the earth?s climate, quantify human influence thereon, and test forecasts of future climate change. The International System of Units (SI, ...

Abstract: Satellite measurements pinned to international standards are needed to monitor the earth?s climate, quantify human influence thereon, and test forecasts of future climate change. Credible observations require that measurement ...

Abstract: In this paper we consider the estimation of North Sea storm severity, for storms with return periods in the interval 100 to 500 yr. The analysis consists of: modeling the tail-distribution ...

Abstract: Observing thermodynamic profiles within the planetary boundary layer is essential to understanding and predicting atmospheric phenomena because of the significant exchange of sensible and latent heat between the land and ...
