Joint Probability of Superelevated Water Levels and Wave Heights at Duck, North Carolina
Storm events are typically classified as a percent occurrence or return interval based on their peak storm elevation. The stage is the combination of storm surge, astronomical tide and...

Estimating Laboratory Wave Reflection Using Laser Doppler
Estimates of irregular wave reflection in two-dimensional laboratory wave tanks are typically accomplished using an array of spatially separated wave gauges. This paper presents a frequency...

Observations of Wind Wave Growth by ERS-1 SAR
Spatial variations of ocean waves can be observed from space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of ocean surface. For a steady offshore wind, the growth of wind wave from an upwind...

Optical Remote Sensing of Wave Surface Kinematics
The measurement of the directional properties of surface slopes, velocities and accelerations is difficult, even in the laboratory, under conditions of steep, random and short-crested...

Breaking Wave Measurement by a Void Fraction Technique
Breaking of steep surface gravity waves in seas under moderate to strong wind forcing always involves the entrainment of air into the water column below the air-sea interface. As such,...

Intercomparison of Extremal Wave Analysis Methods Using Numerically Simulated Data

Case Studies of Extreme Wave Analysis: A Comparative Analysis
Several methods of extremal wave analysis have been applied to two sets of deep water extreme wave data. One set consisted of three-hourly sea-state records collected during a nine year...

Design Waves and Wave Spectra for Engineering Applications
Thirteen years of hourly wave data measured at two of the National Data Buoy Center's (NDBC) buoy stations, one located in the northeastern Pacific and the other located in the northwestern...

Wave Transformation and Load Reduction Using a Small Tandem Reef Breakwater ? Physical Model Tests
The performance of several small reef breakwaters, and a tandem breakwater system (consisting of a reef breakwater positioned upwave from a surface-piercing main breakwater), are quantified...

The Evolution of Breakwater Design
The purpose of this paper is to present a view of the evolution of both the rubble mound and vertical faced breakwaters from the earliest design through the Iribarren and Hudson era. Determining...

The Determination of Typhoon Design Wave By Synthetic Probibility Method
In summer and autumn, typhoons always take place in the northwest pacific. in the northern hemisphere, the typhoon is a large, anticlockwise, atmospheric eddy. Due to the strong wind speed,...
