Deterministic prediction of waves and wave induced vessel motions: Future telling by using nautical radar as a remote wave sensor

With many operations at sea carried out by ships or or other floating vessels, risks are involved because of the waves and resulting motions of the ships. Examples are the landing of helicopters on ships, transferring crew from a ship to a wind turbine, or working on the deck of an anchor handling tug. It is common practice to assess the...

Predicting Storm Surges: Chaos, Computational Intelligence, Data Assimilation, Ensembles

Accurate predictions of storm surge are of importance in many coastal areas. This book focuses on data-driven modelling using methods of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory for predicting storm surges. A number of new enhancements are presented: phase space dimensionality reduction, incomplete time series, phase error correction, finding true...
