WIND AND MAXIMUM WAVE HEIGHT

Evaluate changes in wind wave height at different return periods and statistical distribution

Waves are main characteristics of seas that produce by wind. Importance of the study of waves and recognizing the wave climate in the coastal zone management that the waves are the most important influence on the design and implementation of all projects. Wave are main boundary condition in dynamic loading and structural calculations and hydraulic coastal structures. Height of waves are the mos...

A Model for Wind Speed and Wave Height Retrieval from Radar Altimeter Measurements

A numerical algorithm is here proposed to simulate the measurement of ocean wave height and wind speed by radar altimeter. The algorithm takes into account a realistic ocean wave spectrum and employs a parametric sub-model to simulate the electromagnetic waves scattering from the surface, thus providing greater flexibility and realism than the analytical models currently used. The model is show...

Prediction of Wave Height Based on the Monitoring of Surface Wind

A Statistical Approach for Wave-Height Forecast Based on Spatiotemporal Variation of Surface Wind

Wind Speed Dependence of Single-Site Wave-Height Retrievals from High-Frequency Radars

Wave-height observations derived from single-site high-frequency (HF) radar backscattered Doppler spectra are generally recognized to be less accurate than overlapping radar techniques but can provide significantly larger sampling regions. The larger available wave-sampling region may have important implications for observing system design. Comparison of HF radar–derived wave heights with acous...
