DESCRIPTION:
Douglas Faulkner, University of Glasgow"My judgement is that this book is the most satisfying one available on the subject and is the best value for money of its competitorsVery strongly recommended"JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL INST. OF NAVAL ARCHITECTS
The rest of the book covers the measurement of waves, including remote sensing; the analysis and interpretation of wave data; estimating the properties of the extreme "Design Wave", as well as of the generality of waves for fatigue calculations; waves in finite depth, wave generation by wind and wave forecasting models; non-linear effects, and errors and uncertainties in wave data.. The book is split into 12 sections, the first of which is devoted to the practical applications of wave studies and to the history of wave research. It has considerable relevance to coastal engineering. "Waves in Ocean Engineering" covers the whole field of wave studies of interest to applied oceanographers and ocean engineers
Excellent Excellent book! Practical, useful material.
