During the weeks Professor of Physics Brad Marston was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail last year, he had ample time to contemplate the deflection of waves at the earth’s equator and the ways magnetic ...

A surrogate model for significant wave height and period prediction is developed based on an artificial neural network with synthetic simulations of hurricanes. The neural networks between five input ...

Many phase-averaged parametric nearshore wave models are based on the energy balance concept and use linear wave theory to calculate wave parameters (e.g., wave energy, wave height, wave setup). For a ...

Modeling currents together with wind and waves provides more accurate predictions for weather forecasts and climate scientists. As hurricanes grow in power as the climate changes, accurately modeling ...

When giant waves —sometimes 30 meters tall, many times the height of the surrounding crests—suddenly rear up out of the ocean, they pose severe threats to even the largest craft. Unlike tsunamis, ...

Researchers have developed a three-step technique to estimate power generation loss in floating PV farms resulting from changes in tilt and mismatch losses. The new module was tested in an ...

Until the end of the 20th century, scientists thought stories of massive waves rising up out of nowhere was just a myth sailors passed around, like sea monsters or mermaids. That changed in 1995 when ...
