  • Wind Generated Ocean Waves

    by I.R. Young ...
    Series Book 2 - Elsevier Ocean Engineering Series
    The goals of wind wave research are relatively well defined: to be able to predict the wind wave field and its effect on the environment. That environment could be natural (beaches, the atmosphere etc.) or imposed by human endeavour (ports, harbours, coastal settlements etc.). Although the goals are similar, the specific requirements of these various fields differ considerably.This book attempts ... Read more
