The goals of wind wave research are relatively well defined: to be able to predict the wind
wave field and its effect on the environment. That environment could be natural (beaches …

In this classic study, a renowned student of ocean wave theory examines the data
requirements and details of the power spectral analysis required to make the wave …

The study of sea waves has always been in the focus of mankind's atten tion. This is
attributed not only to a desire to understand the behaviour in seas and oceans, but also, it …

In the long term development of the research on wind waves and their modelling, in
particular of the inner and coastal seas, the present situation is framed with a short look at …

Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters describes the observation, analysis and prediction of
wind-generated waves in the open ocean, in shelf seas, and in coastal regions with islands …

Measurements by Snyder et al in the Bight of Abaco have show that the growth rate of wind
generated surface gravity waves can be approximated by a relationship, which, is valid for …

Early in 1979, a group of wave researchers proposed a wave model inter comparison study
to clarify the interrelations existing among the various wave models which have been …

We perform a critical analysis of the present approach in wave modeling and of the related
results. While acknowledging the good quality of the best present forecasts, we point out the …

Waves observed in the ocean are extremely irregular and, from a physics standpoint, it
seems impossible to describe this chaotic situation. Scientists can describe the situation by …
