New Edition: Ocean Surface Waves: Their Physics and Prediction (3rd
Edition)The book is an extended and updated edition of the book
published in 1996 under the same title (World Scientific, ISBN
9810216866). It contains a very comprehensive and extensive study
on surface ocean waves induced by wind, earthquakes and possible
landslides and asteroids impacts. The basic mathematical
principles, physical description of the observed phenomena,
practical forecasting techniques of the various wave parameters and
extended application in ocean and coastal engineering, are
discussed from the stochastic point of view.All chapters were
completely rewritten and supplemented with many new discoveries
which were published since the first edition in 1996. In
particular, new chapters are added on very interesting and
contemporary topics such as: wave breaking mechanisms in deep- and
shallow water, freak waves, tsunami, water circulation in porous
sea bottom induced by surface waves, and waves propagation through
mangrove forests.In terms of numerical modeling, the state of the
art of the modern methodology of wave prediction models WAM and
SWAN, as well as of the high sophisticated satellite methods of
waves measurement and modern methods of signal processing,
including wavelets approach and Hilbert Transform approach are
presented. The book is supplemented with an extended list of
relevant and extended, contemporary bibliography, subject index and
author index.
