Drifting buoy observations of ocean surface waves in hurricanes are combined with
modeled surface wind speeds. The observations include targeted aerial deployments into …

The effects of instrument noise on estimating the spectral attenuation rates of ocean waves
in sea ice are explored using synthetic observations in which the true attenuation rates are …

Swell waves, characterized by the long wavelength components generated by distant
weather systems or storms, exert a significant influence on various air-sea interaction …

Compact wave buoys are increasingly used to provide monitoring of coastal and oceanic
conditions by measuring surface waves in real time. Due to their relatively compact size …

Sea state estimation from wide-swath and frequent-revisit scatterometers, which are
providing ocean winds in the routine, is an attractive challenge. In this study, state-of-the-art …

This paper reports the results of field measurements of wave breaking modulations by
dominant surface waves, taken from the Black Sea research platform at wind speeds …

A proper understanding on the local wind-wave climate is essential and of great importance
for sustainable developments in the offshore and coastal waters. This study investigates the …

A downshift of the wind wave peak frequency was observed in a wind wave tunnel when
irregular long paddle-waves (ie generated mechanically with a plane wave-maker) are …

Buoys provide key observations of wind speed over the ocean and are routinely used as a
source of validation data for satellite wind products. However, the movement of buoys in …

Climate change is increasing the threat of coastal flooding worldwide, and the incorporation
of tidal wetlands into coastal protection is being widely promoted. These circumstances have …
