Global trends in wind speed and wave height over the past 25 years
TL;DR: A 23-year database of calibrated and validated satellite altimeter measurements is used to investigate global changes in oceanic wind speed and wave height over this period and finds a general global trend of increasing values of windspeed and, to a lesser degree, wave height.

On the Average Shape of the Largest Waves in Finite Water Depths
Ioannis Karmpadakis,Chris Swan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the average shape of the largest waves arising in finite water depths was investigated and the largest wave recorded in time histories of the water surface elevation at a given depth.

Wave breaking energy dissipation in long-crested focused wave groups based on JONSWAP spectra
TL;DR: In this paper, a new experimental investigation into energy dissipation due to wave breaking is presented, where long-crested wave groups based on JONSWAP spectra are generated in a wave flume to estimate the energy loss from the wave packet due to the occurrence of single breaking events.

Experimental study of a suspended subsea module at different positions in the splash zone
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted an experimental study in a wave tank to investigate the dynamics of a large subsea module in the splash zone subject to irregular waves, using a 1:8 scale model of a sub-sea module, similar to that designed by Offshore Oil Engineering Co- Ltd. for the subsea pipeline from the Wenchang gas fields to the Yacheng pipeline.

Wave-in-deck experiments with focussed waves into a solid deck
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact forces resulting from wave-in-deck processes from two separate series of experiments were conducted with and without an I-beam grillage in-place below the solid deck.

TL;DR: In this article, a single-degree-of-freedom (SDF) dynamic system is considered, and the effect of different degrees of freedom on the dynamics of the system is investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, wave spectra were measured along a profile extending 160 kilometers into the North Sea westward from Sylt for a period of two weeks in 1968 and 1969, with particular emphasis on wave growth under stationary offshore wind conditions and the attenuation of swell in water of finite depth.
