WAVES IN OCEAN ENGINEERING

This volume covers the entire field of wave studies that is of interest to applied oceanographers and ocean/marine engineers. There is considerable relevance to coastal engineering, with the book divided into 12 sections, the first of which is devoted to practical applications of wave studies and to the history of wave research. The remainder 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 or wave forecasting models; non-linear effects; and errors and uncertainties in wave data.
