Synopsis

This monograph is an attempt to compile the present state of knowledge on ocean wave analysis and prediction. The emphasis of the monograph is on the development of ocean wave analysis and predic- tion procedures and their utility for real-time operations and appli- cations. Most of the material in the monograph is derived from journal articles, research reports and recent conference proceedings; some of the basic material is extracted from standard text books on physical oceanography and wind waves. Ocean wave analysis and prediction is becoming an important activity in the meteorological and oceanographic services of many countries. The present status of ocean wave prediction may be compar- able to the status of numerical weather prediction of the mid-sixties and early seventies when a number of weather prediction models were developed for research purposes, many of which were later put into operational use by meteorological services of several countries. The increased emphasis on sea-state analysis and prediction has created a need for a ready reference material on various ocean wave analysis and modelling techniques and their utility. The present monograph is aimed at fulfilling this need. The monograph should prove useful to the ocean wave modelling community as well as to marine forecasters, coastal engineers and offshore technologists. The monograph could also be used for a senior undergraduate (or a first year graduate) level course in ocean wave modelling and marine meteorology.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book provides an up-to-date overview of the last 40 years of ocean wave modelling. It emphasizes the development of ocean wave analysis and prediction procedures and their utility for real-time operations, as well as other applications. The book synthesizes the results of a number of recent research reports including a wave model comparison study initiated by the author. It concludes with a brief discussion of future development as it relates to satellite remote sensing and wave model initialization. This book will be useful to those involved with ocean wave modelling, marine forecasters, coastal engineers, and offshore technologists. It can be used to teach an advanced-level course in ocean wave modelling and marine meteorology.
