Estimating Met-Ocean Parameters during a Tropical Cyclone for Marine Science and Engineering

During a tropical cyclone (TC) worldwide, the Regional and Mesoscale Meteorological Branch (RAMMB) of NOAA/NESDIS (http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/) issues real-time TC surface wind analyses. The purpose this article is to provide value-added estimations several meteorological oceanographic (met-ocean) parameters including overwater friction velocity turbulence intensity, variation speed with height, significant wave peak or dominant period, wind-driven currents wind-stress tides. Since these proposed are also validated by other independent methods available from literature, met-ocean may be used for marine science engineering offshore energy (such as oil, gas power) research, development, operation maintenance.
