Surface gravity waves generated by winds are ubiquitous on our oceans and play a
primordial role in the dynamics of the ocean–land–atmosphere interfaces. In particular, wind …

Wave runup is one of the most critical parameters contributing to coastline flooding and
shoreline change. Many formulas have been developed to empirically predict wave runup …

Along open coasts, wind waves are a key driver of coastal changes and can be major
contributors to coastal hazards. Wind wave characteristics are projected to change in …

Inlet wave–current dynamics and interactions are vital to the physical exchanges in a lagoon–
inlet–coastal ocean system. A wave–current coupled model was calibrated and validated …

Storm wave run-up causes beach erosion, wave overtopping, and street flooding. Extreme
runup estimates may be improved, relative to predictions from general empirical formulae …

Wave-current interactions widely occur in shallow waters. However, the dominant factors for
the modulation differ over different coastal regions and the relevant generation mechanisms …

Empirical equations for wave breaking and wave setup are compared with archived
shoreline wave setup measurements to investigate the contribution of wind waves to …

The design of marine structures requires the simulation of wave parameters that consider
sea-state and water-depth transitions. Proper selection of the model coefficients (eg, alpha …

The southwestern part of Bohai Bay in northeastern China is a shallow-water coast with a
long fetch for water to pile up to produce large storm surge under strong wind action during …

Abstract The northern East China Sea (NECS) is a semienclosed basin that is frequently
attacked by tropical cyclones (TCs), and the accompanied storm surges are huge threats to …
