Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation was made to determine the ratio of the wave-supported shear stress, phi sub w; to the total shear stress on the water surface, phi sub o. The experimental conditions were designed to correspond to those required for the application of the viscous shear flow theory of wave generation proposed by Brooke Benjamin (1959) and Miles (1962b). The experiments were performed in a wind-wave tunnel, 48 x 3-1/2 x 2 feet, with a mean water depth of 1-1/2 feet. The wind in the 6 in. air space above the water was fully-developed turbulent channel flow. The mean center-line wind speed, U sub xi, was kept constant at 1.20 m/s during all measurements made with the wind blowing over the water. An artificially generated, single-component, wave train of small amplitude provided a known, initial perturbation of the water surface with which the wind could interact. The range of wave frequencies investigated was from 4.0 to 5.2 cps. Wave measurements were made with capacitance wave probes, wind measurements with hot-wire anemometers. (Author).

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.

Download or read book Advances in SAR Remote Sensing of Oceans written by Xiaofeng Li and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oceans cover approximately 71% of Earth’s surface, 90% of the biosphere and contains 97% of Earth’s water. Since the first launch of SEASAT satellite in 1978, an increasing number of SAR satellites have or will become available, such as the European Space Agency’s ERS-1/-2, ENVISAT, and Sentinel-1 series; the Canadian RADARSAT-1/-2 and the upcoming RADARSAT Constellation Mission series satellites; the Italian COSMO-SkyMed satellites, the German TERRASAR-X and TANDEM-X, and the Chinese GAOFEN-3 SAR, among others. Recently, European Space Agency has launched a new generation of SAR satellites, Sentinel-1A in 2014 and Sentinel-1B in 2016. These SAR satellites provide researchers with free and open SAR images necessary to carry out their research on the global oceans. The scope of Advances in SAR Remote Sensing of Oceans is to demonstrate the types of information that can be obtained from SAR images of the oceans, and the cutting-edge methods needed for analysing SAR images. Written by leading experts in the field, and divided into four sections, the book presents the basic principles of radar backscattering from the ocean surface; introduces the recent progresses in SAR remote sensing of dynamic coastal environment and management; discusses the state-of-the-art methods to monitor parameters or phenomena related to the dynamic ocean environment; and deals specifically with new techniques and findings of marine atmospheric boundary layer observations. Advances in SAR Remote Sensing of Oceans is a very comprehensive and up-to-date reference intended for use by graduate students, researchers, practitioners, and R&D engineers working in the vibrant field of oceans, interested to understand how SAR remote sensing can support oceanography research and applications.

This book was released on 2019-03-16 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laboratory Study of the Generation of Wind Waves in Shallow Water The prediction of wave characteristics in shallow water is of great importance along much of the Gulf Coast of the United States, as well as for many inland water areas (as Lake Okeechobee, Florida). This has been difficult in the past as the effect of the shallow bottom is considerable, particularly in reducing the wave height from what would be expected by use of the deep water wave prediction methods. This report gives the results of some laboratory studies of wave generation in shallow water in a small enclosed wind-wave tank.

Download or read book An Experimental Investigation of the Generation of Water Waves by Air Shear Flows written by Ashok Kumar Gupta and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tank of length 46 in., width 12 in., and depth 5 1/4 in., tipped with a 4 1/2 in., long aluminum plate was filled with ordinary tap water and was placed parallel with a uniform air stream of low turbulence. Visual observations of the water free surface were made in the air speed range of 2 FPS to 26 FPS. (1) Allowing for the effects of slightly accelerating air flow and the finite length of the tank, the measured mean velocity profiles of the laminar air boundary layer agree in all essential aspects with Lock's velocity profile computed for zero pressure gradient. (2) Water wave generation by wind with laminar boundary layers consists of two phenomena: maintenance of water wave and initiation of water wave. A relatively low air speed can maintain a relatively long water wave but cannot initiate it. For the laminar boundary layer water waves of wavelengths 2 to 3 cm first appear at air speeds of 530 to 595 cm/sec. For the turbulent boundary layer the water waves first appear at air speeds of 350-400 cm/sec. (3) For air speeds greater than 23 FPS with the boundary layer laminar a Kel. Helm. type instability seems to occur. (4) Customary plots of neutral oscillations of Tollmien Schlichting waves modified by the water surface made for air speeds of 11.3, 17.5 and 20.6 FPS suggest a destabilising effect of the water surface.
