Offshore wind and wave power are abundant energy sources and could provide long term
contributions to our future energy supply. The combined exploration of wind and wave …

The present paper deals with a performance assessment of the ERA5 wave dataset in an
ocean basin where local wind waves superimpose on swell waves. The evaluation …

There are a number of well established methods in the literature describing how to assess
and analyze measured wind wave data. However, obtaining reliable results from these …

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) technology has
opened a new window for ocean remote sensing because of its unique advantages …

Numerical models solving the wave action balance equation have been widely used to
simulate wind waves. In-situ measurements, albeit sparse, are crucial to the calibration and …

Living shoreline projects have been built to preserve coastal ecosystems under future
climate change and sea level rise. To quantify the wave power variation across living …

Constructed oyster reefs (CORs) provide shore protections and habitats for fish and shellfish
communities via wave energy attenuation. However, the processes and mechanism of …

In this study, a global climatology of swells and wind seas was investigated using near-10-yr
collocated wind speed and significant wave height (SWH) measurements from the basic …

Ocean waves are generally a mix of wind sea and swell. Given the significant disparities in
their impact on engineering, the separation of wind sea and swell is of great significance for …
