RISLarge Waves In The Gulf Of Mexico Caused By Hurricane Ivan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large waves generated by Hurricane Ivan caused extensive damage to the offshore oil industry and to the coastal areas on the Gulf of Mexico. This damage and the wave conditions have received considerable media coverage. ...
One-Day Wave Forecasts Based on Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sophisticated wave models like the Wave Model (WAM) and Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN)/WAVEWATCH are used nowadays along with atmospheric models to produce forecasts of ocean wave conditions. These models are generally ...
Analyses of Extreme Wave Heights in the Gulf of Mexico for Offshore Engineering Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The 2004–2008 hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) saw several exceedances of what was regarded, prior to that period, as the 100year significant wave heights (SWHs) that are used for the design of offshore oil ...
Comparison of Two- and Three-Dimensional Model Simulation of the Effect of a Tidal Barrier on the Gulf of Maine Tides
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two-dimensional and three-dimensional tide models were used to simulate the M2 tide in the Gulf of Maine. Model estimates of changes to the tide caused by a tidal barrier in the upper Bay of Fundy were made and compared. ...
The Response of a Linear Model of the Tropical Pacific to Surface Winds from the NCAR General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experiment in which surface wind stress data from the National Center for Atmospheric Research global circulation model (GCM) was used to drive a simple model of the tropical Pacific is described. First, a 15-year ...
