Waves in the Ocean
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In this document we will discuss three types of waves: wind-driven waves, tides and tsunamis. When the wind blows on the surface of the ocean it produces ripples, waves, and swell. Gravitational forces (mostly from the moon and sun) plus centrifugal forces in the solar system produce tides. Tectonic forces such as earthquakes that cause vertical displacements of the ocean floor, submarine volcanic eruptions, landslides and meteorite impacts on the ocean all cause tsunamis.

Analysis of heat waves temporal fluctuation in North - West region of Iran and their relationship with greenhouse gases and global land-ocean temperature anomalies
The heat waves today are one of the most important climatic hazards in the world. According to many scientists, the Severe and frequent occurrence of heat waves in recent years has been due to the emission of greenhouse gases and consequent increased global warming. The purpose of this study is to investigate changes in the frequency and intensity of heat waves As well as their relationship wit...

Using the statistical characteristics is one of the methods to justify the random nature of the ocean waves. Probability function are used to facilitate the studies of the random waves parameters, such as the surface and height and period of the waves. Since, the force of the ocean waves are the prevalent principal forces on the offshore structures, the assignment of the significant structural ...

based assessment of offshore jacket type platforms against wave loading. This approach can be employed to obtain a more realistic estimate for the ultimate capacity of offshore platforms, in comparison to the commonly used push-over analysis. On the other hand, ocean and sea waves are both random they are irregular in shape, height, speed, period and directions. Therefore, one of the most impor...

Acoustic wave propagates properly in water, whilst most forms of electromagnetic waves, particularly in salty and dense sea water, are attenuated after a few tens or hundreds of meters so that it will be impossible to trace and detect them. This paper presents a special method for recognizing probable underwater currents, and reconstruction of their intensities, widths, and directions by usin...

This paper describes various time-domain methods useful for analyzing the experimental data obtained from a circular cylinder force in terms of both wave and current for estimation of the drag and inertia coefficients applicable to the Morison’s equation. An additional approach, weighted least squares method is also introduced. A set of data obtained from experiments on heavily roughened circul...
متن کاملThe layered structure in exchange flows between two basins (Middle and Southern basins of the Caspian Sea)
Ocean waters often show layered structures especially where exchange flow between two basins occurs. These structures are often attributed to processes such as double.diffusive convection, internal waves, turbulent modulated mixing. In this paper by examining the vertical structures of temperature, salinity and density, of the middle parts of Caspian Sea it is shown that such layered structure ...
