Today, advanced operational wave models, eg WAM, SWAN or WAVEWATCH-III, provide
very accurate solutions. Nevertheless, under extreme weather conditions, surface wave …

Surface waves in the Arctic Seas are jointly analyzed using satellite altimeter observations,
classical fetch and duration laws of wave development, and a two-dimensional parametric …

In the previous companion study, satellite data were used to describe peculiar
characteristics of ocean surface wave fields, generated by two extra-tropical cyclones …

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are extreme events that generate, because of their movement,
complex wave fields. The Surface Wave Investigation and Monitoring (SWIM) instrument is a …

Polar lows (PLs) are mesoscale, up to 1000 km, rather short lifetime (less than 15–30 h)
cyclonic atmospheric systems formed in polar latitudes and associated with cold outbreak …

Regional analysis of wave characteristics is crucial for ocean engineering planning and
marine disaster protection. However, current wave observation methods have limitations in …

Abstract Ocean surface radial Doppler Velocity (DV) signatures of Tropical Cyclones (TC) at
moderate incidence angles are analyzed using a semi-empirical DV model. This model …

Surface waves generated by Extra-Tropical Cyclones (ETCs) can significantly affect
shipping, fishing, offshore oil and gas production, and other marine activities. This paper …

Both unresolved physics in numerical models and limited theoretical understanding of the
small-scale diffusion processes occurring near the ocean surface hamper predictability of …

Satellite altimeters can provide excellent global wind speed at 10 m above the sea surface
(U10), however, the U10 becomes inaccurate and difficult to measure in tropical cyclone …
