Specification of realistic environmental design conditions for marine structures is of fundamental importance to their reliability over time. Design conditions for extreme waves and storm severities are typically estimated by extreme value analysis of time series of measured or hindcast significant wave height, HS. This analysis is complicated by two effects. Firstly, HS exhibits temporal depen...

Rocky intertidal ecosystems are impacted by many different abiotic and biotic factors. Specifically, both wave exposure and tidal height have been shown to have strong effects on the dynamics of intertidal communities. Wave exposure and tidal height have long been shown to limit the ranges and abundance of intertidal organisms, although the relative importance of the two factors and the relatio...

An essential aspect of the sustainable design harbor walls is determination wave condition. It predicted by utilizing severe conditions from past 10 to 20 years. The tourism in Central Maluku, Indonesia, located where extreme occur. Therefore, this research studies height before and after constructing a wall area. was simulated using numerical modelling. methodology performed coastal modelling ...

As a contribution to deterministic investigations into extreme fluid surface waves, in this paper wave profiles of prescribed period that have maximal crest height will be investigated. As constraints the values of the momentum and energy integrals are used in a simplified description with the KdV model. The result is that at the boundary of the feasible region in the momentum-energy plane, the...

A full-spectral third-generation ocean wind-wave model, Wavewatch-III, has been implemented in the South China Sea (SCS) for investigating wind-wave characteristics. This model was developed at the Ocean Modeling Branch of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The NASA QuickSCAT data (0.258 resolution) 2 times daily were used to simulate the wind waves for the entire year of...

The robustness of the parameterized gravity wave response to an imposed radiative perturbation in the middle atmosphere is examined. When momentum is conserved and for reasonable gravity wave drag parameters, the response to a polar cooling induces polar downwelling above the region of the imposed cooling, with consequent adiabatic warming. This response is robust to changes in the gravity wave...
