Book excerpt: "The objective of this study was to produce, via hindcasting, a climatology for extreme storm waves in the Beaufort Sea, to be used as a reference for design considerations of offshore structures. Phase 1 of this study was aimed at reviewing previous environmental studies for the Beaufort region, and establishing an appropriate procedure to provide the design reference information, selecting an appropriate spectral wave model, selecting severe storms affecting the Canadian Beaufort Sea region, and evaluation of model hindcasts. Phase II of the study consisted of the final selection of the top severe storm population, hindcast production, extremal analysis, treatment of ice edge and presentation of final results. Already at the outset, it was realized that considerable effort would be required in order to provide adequate overwater wind fields and specification of the effects of sea ice and shallow water. Compared to previous studies with similar objectives for other areas such as the Canadian East and West Coasts or the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the number of available marine observations of weather and sea state from ships and rigs in the Beaufort is relatively small. The selection and hindcast of the potential severe storms is further complicated by the existence of sea ice. Extra care must therefore be taken when determining the wind and ice fields. Due to the special operating conditions in the Beaufort Sea, where drilling is mostly carried out on structures which differ from those used elsewhere, different considerations must be taken for establishing design criteria and critical conditions, and when selecting severe storm events for hindcasting. Some effort was therefore put into estimating which storms were likely to generate extreme currents, for example, as these would likely increase the potential for erosion of artificial islands"--Leaf 1-1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, the two most recently publicly available hindcast studies for the Beaufort Sea have been reviewed. The studies, conducted respectively by Hydrotechnology and Seaconsult, differ markedly in their treatment of the storm windfields and the available fetch length. Consequently, there is a considerable disparity between their estimate of extreme wave heights for deep water conditions, although for shallow water the agreement is more favourable. A systematic assessment of their respective methodologies indicated factors which would help to undo some of the conservatism in the Seaconsult estimates and warrant a slight increase in the Hydrotechnology results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Extreme significant wave heights, and extreme water levels produced by the addition of wind-generated waves, storm surge and tide, have been calculated in the present study for return periods of 1, 10, 50 and 100 years. These results are specified at 10 sites, ranging in depth from shallow water near the coast to deep water north of Herschel Island. ... The wind-generated waves hindcast in the present study are roughly 2 to 2ư times larger than those derived by IRC (1974) for Imperial Oil Company, Ltd. There are two major causes for this difference: a) the present study has revised the long-return period wind speeds upward from the previous hindcast, and it has used a fully two-dimensional storm-based wind field presentation to the wave model to give an improved extreme wind description over that used by IRC (1974) and b) the present study has defined the open-water generation area by the furthest observed offshore ice-edge, resulting in much longer fetches than used in the previous study. ... it was concluded that the observed wave height data base is presently too short to give reliable extreme wave estimates and that hindcasting based on the meteorological data base is the only viable method for obtaining design wave length"--Page i.

Download or read book Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters written by Leo H. Holthuijsen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-04 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters describes the observation, analysis and prediction of wind-generated waves in the open ocean, in shelf seas, and in coastal regions with islands, channels, tidal flats and inlets, estuaries, fjords and lagoons. Most of this richly illustrated book is devoted to the physical aspects of waves. After introducing observation techniques for waves, both at sea and from space, the book defines the parameters that characterise waves. Using basic statistical and physical concepts, the author discusses the prediction of waves in oceanic and coastal waters, first in terms of generalised observations, and then in terms of the more theoretical framework of the spectral energy balance. He gives the results of established theories and also the direction in which research is developing. The book ends with a description of SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore), the preferred computer model of the engineering community for predicting waves in coastal waters.

This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 862 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling of Extreme Waves in Technology and Nature is a two-volume set, comprising Evolution of Extreme Waves and Resonances (Volume I) and Extreme Waves and Shock-Excited Processes in Structures and Space Objects (Volume II). The theory of waves is generalized on cases of extreme waves. The formation and propagation of extreme waves of various physical and mechanical nature (surface, elastoplastic, fracture, thermal, evaporation) in liquid and solid media, and in structural elements contacting with bubbly and cryogenic liquids are considered analytically and numerically. The occurrence of tsunamis, giant ocean waves, turbulence, and different particle-waves is described as resonant natural phenomena. Nonstationary and periodic waves are considered using models of continuum. The change in the state of matter is taken into account using wide-range determining equations. The desire for the simplest and at the same time general description of extreme wave phenomena that takes the reader to the latest achievements of science is the main thing that characterizes this book and is revolutionary for wave theory. A description of a huge number of observations, experimental data, and calculations is also given.

This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a world where the loss of sea ice and thawing of coastal grounds in the north, and renewed marine transgression and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events globally, are becoming commonplace. This volume presents a timely examination of coasts, the geological environment at particular risk, as global warming brings on this new reality. In 23 papers, low lying, mainly siliciclastic coasts are reviewed, described and analysed, under a variety of climates in quasi-stable tectonic settings along passive, trailing-continental edges from Polar Regions to the Tropics. Examples include coast of the Arctic seas, temperate to tropical eastern shores of the Americas, western Portugal, Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, South Africa and Australia. The entire coastal zone (landscape) is considered ranging from geophysical processes and products to biological entities including the adaption of Native People in various climatic zones. Knowledge of the state of the coasts now, and how the coastal plain has evolved since Late Pleistocene, is crucial for any realistic planning for the future.
