Ocean Wave Dynamics is the most up-to-date book of its kind on the
three main processes responsible for the generation and evolution
of ocean waves: (i) atmospheric input from the wind, (ii) wave
breaking and (iii) nonlinear interactions.Ocean waves are important
for many reasons. They are the major environmental impact on in the
design of coastal or offshore structures. Ocean waves are also
fundamental to the processes of coastal flooding and beach erosion.
They will play a major role in storm related coastal flooding which
will rise in frequency as a result of sea level rise. Ocean waves
are also an important part of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system.
They determine the roughness of the ocean surface and hence have an
impact on winds, fluxes of energy, gases and heat to the ocean and
even the stability of ice sheets.Containing the latest research on
ocean waves, it is a valuable resource for an overview of knowledge
in this important field.Related Link(s)
