Download or read book Ocean Wave Climate written by M. D. Earle and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waves critically affect man in coastal regions, including the open coasts and adjacent continental shelves. Preventing beach erosion, designing and building structures, designing and operating ships, providing marine forecasts, and coastal planning are but a few examples of projects for which extensive information about wave conditions is critical. Scientific studies, especially those in volving coastal processes and the development of better wave prediction models, also require wave condition information. How ever, wave conditions along and off the coasts of the United States have not been adequately determined. The main categories of available wave data are visual estimates of wave conditions made from ships at sea, scientific measurements of waves made for short time periods at specific locations, and a small number of long-term measurements made from piers or offshore platforms. With these considerations in mind, the National Ocean Survey of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sponsored the Ocean Wave Climate Symposium at Herndon, Virginia, July 12-14, 1977. This volume contains papers presented at this symposium. A goal of the symposium was to establish the foundations for a com prehensive and far-sighted wave measurement and analysis program to fully describe the coastal wave climate of the United States. Emphasis was placed on ocean engineering and scientific uses of wave data, existing wave monitoring programs, and modern measure ment techniques which may provide currently needed data.

Book excerpt: Instagram sensation Clark Little shares his most remarkable photographs from inside the breaking wave, with a foreword by world surfing champion Kelly Slater. “One of the world’s most amazing water photographers . . . Now we get to experience up-close these moments of bliss.”—Jack Johnson, musician and environmentalist Surfer and photographer Clark Little creates deceptively peaceful pictures of waves by placing himself under the deadly lip as it is about to hit the sand. "Clark's view" is a rare and dangerous perspective of waves from the inside out. Thanks to his uncanny ability to get the perfect shot--and live to share it--Little has garnered a devout audience, been the subject of award-winning documentaries, and become one of the world's most recognizable wave photographers. Clark Little: The Art of Waves compiles over 150 of his images, including crystalline breaking waves, the diverse marine life of Hawaii, and mind-blowing aerial photography. This collection features his most beloved pictures, as well as work that has never been published in book form, with Little's stories and insights throughout. Journalist Jamie Brisick contributes essays on how Clark gets the shot, how waves are created, swimming with sharks, and more. With a foreword by eleven-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater and an afterword by the author on his photographic practice and technique, Clark Little: The Art of Waves offers a rare view of the wave for us to enjoy from the safety of land.

Book excerpt: The Bestselling Classic Updated for Surfers, Sailors, Oceanographers, Climate Activists, and Those Who Love the Sea First published in 1963 and updated in 1979, this classic was an essential handbook for anyone who studies, surfs, protects, or is fascinated by the ocean. The original author, Willard Bascom, was a master of the subject and included a wealth of information, based on theory and statistics, but also anecdotal observation and personal experience. It brought to the general public understanding of the awesome and complex power of the waves. This revision from Kim McCoy adds recent facts and anecdotes to update the book's relevance in the time of climate change. One of the most significant effects of global warming will be sea-level rise. What will this mean to waves and beaches, and what effects are we already seeing? New text and photos cover events such as the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, Hurricane Katrina flooding of 2005, and the 2011 earthquake and resulting devastation in Fukishima. As well as students, surfers, and the general public, this updated edition of a beloved classic is an essential handbook for climate scientists and ocean activists, providing clear explanations and detailed resources for the constant battle to preserve the shore.

Book excerpt: The paper presents a summary and history of the wave recording program at the Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) and its predecessor, the Beach Erosion Board (BEB). There is a brief description of the types of sensors and recorders that have been used, and of the methods of analysis utilized. The main body of the paper is a listing of the wave gage stations, their locations, date of establishment, equipment used, present status, and periods of time over which records and analyses have been made. This listing is followed by a list of stations which have supplied visual-observation records in a program made possible by the cooperation of the United States Coast Guard. The location of each station is given along with the date of establishment, present status, and periods of time for which observations have been made. (Author).

This book was released on 1996-05-01 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This planning report presents a technical summary and recommendations for jointly developing improved coastal wave prediction capabilities for the Army and Navy, and was prepared by the Army/Navy Wave Prediction Group. Wave related physical processes are crucial for both Army and Navy operations, such as mine, amphibious, and logistics over the shore. Current coastal wave prediction capabilities are inadequate to meet several critical nearshore operational requirements. Nearshore physical environments are intrinsically more complicated than deep water due to strong interactions of waves with currents and irregular bathymetry. Important dynamic processes include wave shoaling, refraction, diffraction, and energy dissipation through wave breaking and bottom friction. Attention must be given to wave-driven nearshore processes, which in turn influence wave conditions. The fine resolution (both spatial and temporal) coastal wind forecasting plays an equally central role in this endeavor. Coupled with the increased complications of the coastal regions is the stringent requirement that many DoD coastal littoral warfare requires a higher level of accuracy than deep-water counterparts. This report presents a technical strategy with a vertically integrated approach for improving DoD wave prediction capabilities to advance current state-of-the-art. The strategy encompasses theoretical and experimental studies, comprehensive new field measurements, numerical modeling, and operational validation/evaluation/lmodification. Substantial common interests currently exist between the Army and Navy, thus a new R&D program jointly funded and executed is deemed to be timely and cost effective. The final deliverable of this joint program will be an improved integrated coastal wave prediction system for Army and Navy operational needs.

Download or read book Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters written by Leo H. Holthuijsen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-04 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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, channels, tidal flats and inlets, estuaries, fjords and lagoons. Most of this richly illustrated book is devoted to the physical aspects of waves. After introducing observation techniques for waves, both at sea and from space, the book defines the parameters that characterise waves. Using basic statistical and physical concepts, the author discusses the prediction of waves in oceanic and coastal waters, first in terms of generalised observations, and then in terms of the more theoretical framework of the spectral energy balance. He gives the results of established theories and also the direction in which research is developing. The book ends with a description of SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore), the preferred computer model of the engineering community for predicting waves in coastal waters.
