Benefits of fully focused SAR altimetry to coastal wave height estimates: A case study in the North Sea

Schlembach, Florian (author), Ehlers, F. (author), Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), Passaro, Marcello (author), Dettmering, Denise (author), Seitz, Florian (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author)

Estimating the three geophysical variables significant wave height (SWH), sea surface height, and wind speed from satellite altimetry continues to be challenging in the coastal zone because the received radar echoes exhibit significant interference from strongly reflective targets such as sandbanks, sheltered bays, ships etc. Fully focused...

Wave shape prediction in complex coastal systems

de Wit, F.P. (author)

When waves propagate towards the coast, nonlinear interactions occur under the influence of decreasing water depth and variable ambient currents. This changes the initially harmonic wave shape into a nonlinear wave shape due to the presence of bound waves accompanying the freely propagating primary waves. The nonlinear wave shape ranges from...

The relationship between sea-swell bound wave height and wave shape

de Wit, F.P. (author), Tissier, M.F.S. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)

The nonlinear wave shape, expressed by skewness and asymmetry, can be calculated from surface elevation or pressure time series using bispectral analysis. Here, it is shown that the same analysis technique can be used to calculate the bound superharmonic wave height. Using measured near-bed pressures from three different field experiments, it...

The effects of wave non-linearity on wave attenuation by vegetation

Phan Khanh, L. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Zijlema, Marcel (author), Truong, H.T.X. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)

Wave attenuation through mangrove forests has received more and more attention, especially in the context of increasing coastal erosion and sea-level-rise. Numerous studies have focused on studying the reduction of wave height in a mangrove forest. However, the understanding of this attenuation process is still in its infancy. In order to obtain...

Gulf of Mexico hurricane wave simulations using SWAN: Bulk formula-based drag coefficient sensitivity for Hurricane Ike

Huang, Y. (author), Weisberg, R.H. (author), Zheng, L. (author), Zijlema, M. (author)

The effects of wind input parameterizations on wave estimations under hurricane conditions are examined using the unstructured grid, third-generation wave model, Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN). Experiments using Hurricane Ike wind forcing, which impacted the Gulf of Mexico in 2008, illustrate that the default and recommended setting for the...

Individual wave height distributions in the coastal zone: Measurements and simulations and the effect of directional spreading

Van Vledder, G.P. (author), Ruessink, G. (author), Rijnsdorp, D.P. (author)

Characteristics of the individual wave height distribution in shallow water have been investigated using measured wave data and results of numerical simulations using the non-hydrostatic SWASH model. It is shown that the SWASH model is capable of reproducing the temporal and spatial variation of surface elevation in a wave flume and the...
