Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters describes the observation,
analysis and prediction of wind-generated waves in the open ocean,
in shelf seas, and in coastal regions with islands, channels, tidal
flats and inlets, estuaries, fjords and lagoons. Most of this
richly illustrated book is devoted to the physical aspects of
waves. After introducing observation techniques for waves, both at
sea and from space, the book defines the parameters that
characterise waves. Using basic statistical and physical concepts,
the author discusses the prediction of waves in oceanic and coastal
waters, first in terms of generalised observations, and then in
terms of the more theoretical framework of the spectral energy
balance. He gives the results of established theories and also the
direction in which research is developing. The book ends with a
description of SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore), the preferred
computer model of the engineering community for predicting waves in
coastal waters.
