Although a ubiquitous natural phenomenon, the onset and subsequent process of surface
wave breaking are not fully understood. Breaking affects how steep waves become and …

Abstract Knowledge of the directional distribution of a wave field is crucial for a better
understanding of complex air-sea interactions. However, the dynamic and unpredictable …

Using data from a recent field campaign, we evaluate several breaking criteria with the goal
of assessing the accuracy of these criteria in wave breaking detection. Two new criteria are …

This paper presents detailed laboratory experiments investigating the effect onshore and
offshore wind conditions have on nearshore wave dynamics, including extreme winds. The …

Wind driven waves regime along the western shore of the Gulf of Aqaba is only sparsely
investigated, despite its significant impact on the abundance of engineering, leisure, and …

Steep wave breaking on vertical cylinder (a typical foundation supporting offshore wind
turbines) will induce slam loads. Many questions on the important violent wave loading and …

Bubbles directly link sea surface structure to the dissipation rate of turbulence in the ocean
surface layer through wave breaking, and they are an important vehicle for air–sea transfer …

When a wave breaks, it produces bubbles whose sizes depend on the breaking severity.
This paper attempts to estimate wave breaking dissipation through a passive acoustic …

Water wave breaking represents one of the most arduous problems in fluid mechanics.
Understanding the process of wave breaking and developing an ability to quantify the …

This master's thesis aims to enhance techniques for understanding, modelling, and
predicting ocean surface processes using undersampled data and incomplete information …
