Description
"Waves in Ocean Engineering" covers the whole field of wave studies of interest to applied oceanographers and ocean engineers.
It has considerable relevance to coastal engineering.
The book is split into 12 sections, the first of which is devoted to the
practical applications of wave studies and to the history of wave research. The rest of the book covers the measurement of waves, including
remote sensing; the analysis and interpretation of wave data; estimating the properties of the extreme "Design Wave", as well as of the
generality of waves for fatigue calculations; waves in finite depth, wave generation by wind and wave forecasting models; non-linear
effects, and errors and uncertainties in wave data.
Audience
For ocean engineers, physical oceanographers and coastal engineers.
