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 …

Review is given about the main results of the oceanographic component of the BALTEX
research programme (one of the six continental scale experiments within GEWEX-WCRP to …

Generally, ocean waves are thought to act as a drag on the surface wind so that momentum
is transferred downward, from the atmosphere into the waves. Recent observations have …

A new technique for studying the contribution of ocean swell to the global wind-wave climate
is proposed, on the basis of numerical simulations of wind-wave evolution. In this technique …

Detailed knowledge of mean wind speed profiles is essential for properly assessing the
power output of a potential wind farm. Since atmospheric stratification plays a crucial role in …

Stably stratified shear-driven turbulence is analyzed using the gradient Richardson number,
Ri, as the stability parameter. The method overcomes the statistical problems associated …

Recent field observations and large-eddy simulations have shown that the impact of fast
swell on the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) might be stronger than previously …

Atmospheric and surface wave data from several oceanic experiments carried out on the
Floating Instrument Platform (FLIP) and the Air–Sea Interaction Spar (ASIS) have been …
