den Ouden, O.F.C. (author), Assink, Jelle D. (author), Smets, P.S.M. (author), Evers, L.G. (author)The ambient infrasonic noise field is complex due to the interference of spatially distributed infrasound sources. Microbaroms are one of the most dominant omnipresent infrasonic sources within this wavefield. These microbaroms are generated by nonlinear ocean surface wave interactions, and have a characteristic and continuous signature...journal article 2022

Bij de Vaate, I. (author), Martin, Ericka (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author), Naeije, M.C. (author), Verlaan, M. (author)In the Arctic Ocean, obtaining water levels from satellite altimetry is hampered by the presence of sea ice. Hence, water level retrieval requires accurate detection of fractures in the sea ice (leads). This paper describes a thorough assessment of various surface type classification methods, including a thresholding method, nine supervised-,...journal article 2022

Meinke, K. (author), Stam, D.M. (author), Visser, P.M. (author)Context. In the near future, dedicated telescopes will observe Earth-like exoplanets in reflected parent starlight, allowing their physical characterization. Because of the huge distances, every exoplanet will remain an unresolved, single pixel, but temporal variations in the pixel’s spectral flux contain information about the planet’s surface...journal article 2022

Smets, P.S.M. (author), Weemstra, C. (author), Evers, L.G. (author)We report on the extraction of deep ocean travel time variations from time-lapse cross-correlations between a hydrophone station and a three-component broadband seismometer. The signals we cross-correlate in this study result from repeated activity by the Monowai seamount, one of the most active submarine volcanoes of the Tonga-Kermadec ridge...journal article 2022

Li, Zhenhao (author), Tang, Tianning (author), Li, Yan (author), Draycott, Samuel (author), van den Bremer, T.S. (author), Adcock, Thomas A.A. (author)Abrupt changes in water depth are known to lead to abnormal free-surface wave statistics. The present study considers whether this translates into abnormal loads on offshore infrastructure. A fully non-linear numerical model is used which is carefully validated against experiments. The wave kinematics from the numerical model are used as...journal article 2022

Kalikatzarakis, Miltiadis (author), Theotokatos, Gerasimos (author), Coraddu, A. (author), Sayan, Paul (author), Wong, Seng Yew (author)The immense pressure to decarbonise the maritime industry has led to the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) uptake as a marine fuel and the LNG fuelled ships design. As LNG is stored in cryogenic conditions, the heat ingress from the ambient causes the boil-off gas (BOG) production, which, if not controlled, results in the tank overpressure with...journal article 2022

Hermans, T.H.J. (author), Katsman, C.A. (author), Machado Lima de Camargo, C. (author), Garner, Gregory G. (author), Kopp, Robert E. (author), Slangen, Aimée B.A. (author)Projections of relative sea level change (RSLC) are commonly reported at an annual mean basis. The seasonality of RSLC is often not considered, even though it may modulate the impacts of annual mean RSLC. Here, we study seasonal differences in twenty-first-century ocean dynamic sea level change (DSLC; 2081–2100 minus 1995–2014) on the...journal article 2022

(author)Surface melt is an important driver of ice shelf disintegration and its consequent mass loss over the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Monitoring surface melt using satellite remote sensing can enhance our understanding of ice shelf stability. However, the sensors do not measure the actual physical process of surface melt, but rather observe the presence...journal article 2022

(author), Cherif, Charfeddine (author)The calving of Antarctic ice shelves remains unpredictable to date due to a lack of understanding of the role of the different climatic components in such events. In this study, the role of atmospheric forcing in the calving of the Brunt Ice Shelf (BIS) in February 2021 is investigated using a combination of observational and reanalysis data....journal article 2022

(author)Magallana gigas is a naturalized species on the north coast of Galicia (Rías Altas, Northwest Iberian Peninsula), where it was unintentionally introduced. In recent decades, a greater abundance of M. gigas has been observed on the Galician coast, expanding towards the south, reaching the Artabro Gulf (Rías Centrales, NW Galician coast), probably...journal article 2022

Calvert, R. (author), McAllister, M. L. (author), Whittaker, C. (author), Raby, A. (author), Borthwick, A. G.L. (author), van den Bremer, T.S. (author)Periodic water waves generate Stokes drift as manifest from the orbits of Lagrangian particles not fully closing. Stokes drift can contribute to the transport of floating marine litter, including plastic. Previously, marine litter objects have been considered to be perfect Lagrangian tracers, travelling with the Stokes drift of the waves....journal article 2021

Contardo, Stephanie (author), Lowe, Ryan J. (author), Hansen, Jeff E. (author), Rijnsdorp, D.P. (author), Dufois, François (author), Symonds, Graham (author)Long waves are generated and transform when short-wave groups propagate into shallow water, but the generation and transformation processes are not fully understood. In this study we develop an analytical solution to the linearized shallow-water equations at the wave-group scale, which decomposes the long waves into a forced solution (a bound...journal article 2021

Verma, Amrit Shankar (author), Jiang, Zhiyu (author), Ren, Zhengru (author), Hu, Weifei (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author)The presence of rain-induced leading edge erosion of wind turbine blades (WTBs) necessitates the development of erosion models. One of the essential parameters for erosion modeling is the relative impact velocity between rain droplets and the rotating blade. Based on this parameter, the erosion damage rate of a WTB is calculated to estimate...journal article 2021

Vishwakarma, B.D. (author), Royston, S. (author), Riva, R.E.M. (author), Westaway, R.M. (author), Bamber, J.L. (author)The conventional sea level budget (SLB) equates changes in sea surface height with the sum of ocean mass and steric change, where solid-Earth movements are included as corrections but limited to the impact of glacial isostatic adjustment. However, changes in ocean mass load also deform the ocean bottom elastically. Until the early 2000s,...journal article 2020

Kamranzad, Bahareh (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Takara, Kaoru (author)The wave energy resources in the Indian Ocean can be considered as a potential alternative to fossil fuels. However, the wave energy resources are subject to short-term fluctuations and long-term changes due to climate change. Hence, considering sustainable development goals, it is necessary to assess both short-term (intra-annual) variation...journal article 2020
