This book was released on 1971 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent measurements by an international team of scientists has given the following tenative information on the mechanisms of wind wave generation and dissipation: From 30 - 90% of the observed wave growth is accounted for by the nonlinear wave-wave interaction theory of K. Hasselmann (1962, 1963). The simple interpretation of the equilibrium range by Phillips (1958) is not substantiated by the observation. The overshoot effect is clearly observed. From 10 - 20% of the momentum available from the atmosphere is advected with the wave field. Strong wave attenuation occurs in shallow water due to turbulent bottom friction. Secondary results are presented in the text. (Author).

This book was released on 1970 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2-year field study of the mechanisms of wind wave generation and dissipation has been conducted in the North Sea. The study is a multi-nation effort. The experimental techniques and layout are described. The quality and quantity of data collected were good in 1968 and excellent in 1969. The results derived from these data are not discussed.

Book excerpt: The goals of wind wave research are relatively well defined: to be able to predict the wind wave field and its effect on the environment. That environment could be natural (beaches, the atmosphere etc.) or imposed by human endeavour (ports, harbours, coastal settlements etc.). Although the goals are similar, the specific requirements of these various fields differ considerably. This book attempts to summarise the current state of this knowledge and to place this understanding into a common frame work. It attempts to take a balanced approach between the pragmatic engineering view of requiring a short term result and the scientific quest for detailed understanding. Thus, it attempts to provide a rigorous description of the physical processes involved as well as practical predictive tools.

Download or read book The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind written by Peter Janssen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was published in 2004. The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind describes in detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves and shows how ocean waves affect weather forecasting on timescales of 5 to 90 days. Winds generate ocean waves, but at the same time airflow is modified due to the loss of energy and momentum to the waves; thus, momentum loss from the atmosphere to the ocean depends on the state of the waves. This volume discusses ocean wave evolution according to the energy balance equation. An extensive overview of nonlinear transfer is given, and as a by-product the role of four-wave interactions in the generation of extreme events, such as freak waves, is discussed. Effects on ocean circulation are described. Coupled ocean-wave, atmosphere modelling gives improved weather and wave forecasts. This volume will interest ocean wave modellers, physicists and applied mathematicians, and engineers interested in shipping and coastal protection.
