RSMCs use wind-wave models as tools to help predict the sea conditions. In the U.S., NOAA's Wavewatch III model is used heavily. A significant wave height...

Wave power is the capture of energy of wind waves to do useful work – for example, electricity generation, water desalination, or pumping water. A machine...

lee waves are produced when the lapse rate shows a stable layer above the obstruction, with an unstable layer above and below. Strong winds (with wind gusts...

long-term wave data available in a nearby offshore location (e.g. from satellites), a wind wave model can be employed to transform the offshore wave statistics...

Infragravity waves are surface gravity waves with frequencies lower than the wind waves – consisting of both wind sea and swell – thus corresponding with...

The wave base, in physical oceanography, is the maximum depth at which a water wave's passage causes significant water motion. At water depths deeper...
