This work proposes a new general procedure to stochastically analyze multi-model multivariate wave climate time series projections at different temporal scales. For every projection, it characterizes significant height, peak period and mean direction by means of univariate non-stationary distributions capable capturing cyclic behavior over reference interval duration. The dependence between the...

Several aspects of global climate change, e.g., the rise sea level and water temperature anomalies, suggest advantages studying wave distributions. In this study, WAVEWATCH-III (WW3) (version 6.07), which is a well-known numerical model, was employed for simulating waves over seas from 1993–2020. The European Centre Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), Copernicus Marine Environment Monitorin...

Climate change (CC) is likely to affect the thousands of bar-built or barrier estuaries (here referred to as Small tidal inlets - STIs) around the world. Any such CC impacts on the stability of STIs, which governs the dynamics of STIs as well as that of the inlet-adjacent coastline, can result in significant socio-economic consequences due to the heavy human utilisation of these systems and the...

Sophisticated wave models like the Wave Model (WAM) and Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN)/ WAVEWATCH are used nowadays along with atmospheric models to produce forecasts of ocean wave conditions. These models are generally run operationally on large ocean-scale domains. In many coastal areas, on the other hand, operational forecasting is not performed for a variety of reasons, yet the need for ...

Waves are an important factor in marine science that can have positive and negative impacts on the natural conditions affect them. Under certain waves change coastline, damage life, cause tidal flooding, coastal buildings so on. With energy have, they all human activities such as distribution, utilization of sources, biota tourism business, development areas. Based influence generated, informat...

The invention is a method of using computer vision to control systems consisting of a combination of holonomic and nonholonomic degrees of freedom such as a wheeled rover equipped with a robotic arm, a forklift, and earthmoving equipment such as a backhoe or a front-loader. Using vision sensors mounted on the mobile system and the manipulator, the system establishes a relationship between the i...

The process of estimating the effect a changing climate on severity future ocean storms is plagued by large uncertainties; for safe design and operation offshore structures, it nevertheless important that best possible estimates effects made given available data. We explore variability in 100-year return value significant wave height (HS), changes over period time, output WAVEWATCH-III models f...
