Sentences with phrase «significant wave height»

Analyses of wind and significant wave height support reanalysis - based evidence for an increase in extratropical storm activity in the Northern Hemisphere in recent decades until the late 1990s.

In addition, wave simulations show higher significant wave heights of > 0.4 m in the north - eastern Atlantic by the 2080s (Woolf et al., 2002; Tsimplis et al., 2004a; Wolf and Woolf, 2006).

This series of plots shows significant wave height (in meters, indicated by color scale) in the western Arctic Ocean during the 2016 Arctic cyclone, from August 14 to August 16, 2016, as predicted by a numerical wave model (WAVEWATCH III), run at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL).

The Delta Flume boasts bigger waves; the maximum significant wave height — a measure of a storm's intensity — is 2.2 meters, but individual waves may top out at 4.5 meters.

Analyses of wind and significant wave height support reanalysis - based evidence for changes in NH extratropical storms from the start of the reanalysis record in the late 1970s until the late 1990s.

While, in the ocean, a wave already qualifies as rogue if it exceeds the significant wave height by a factor two, we find optical waves that exceed this threshold by more of a factor ten — a truly rough optical sea.

Over the ocean this includes: sea surface slope and surface current, significant wave height, wind speed and sea level from radar altimetry at about 10 km resolution: sea surface temperature under cloud free conditions from the infrared radiometer at about 300 m resolution; chlorophyll a and phytoplankton from the imaging spectrometer under cloud free conditions at about 300 m resolution.

In addition, Sentinel - 3B will as well measure sea ice thickness and significant wave heights, the latter will be assimilated into MET Norway's wave forecast model, also a contribution to the Copernicus Marine Services.
