Description for Wind-waves in Oceans
Hardback. This research monograph deals with the study of wave phenomena caused by winds in the world's oceans. It pays particular attention to developments that take into account the propagation of ocean waves at global distances and their interaction with the sea bottom, ocean currents and ice cover. Series: Physics of Earth and Space Environments. Num Pages: 376 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHV; RBKC; RBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 22. Weight in Grams: 724.
The study of sea waves has always been in the focus of mankind's atten tion. This is attributed not only to a desire to understand the behaviour in seas and oceans, but also, it has some practical necessity. Developing up-to date wind wave numerical methods requires detailed mathematical modelling, starting with wave generation, development, propagation and transformation on the surface in different water areas under quasi-stationary conditions, up to a synthesis of climatic features observed under different wave generation conditions in oceans, sea or coastal areas. The present monograph considers wind waves in terms of the most general formulation of ... Read more

Reviews for Wind-waves in Oceans
From the reviews: "The book by I. Lavrenov presents his view on the subject, based upon more than 25 years experience both in fundamental theoretical and experimental research, as well as in developing operational forecasting. … The book contains a lot of helpful material … . The book has a consistent underlying philosophy, being ‘practically’ ... Read more
