Keywords: Ocean wave modeling Uncertainty quantification Generalized polynomial chaos Sparse grid collocation Sensitivity analysis Karhunen–Loeve decomposition a b s t r a c t The primary objective of this study is to introduce a stochastic framework based on generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) for uncertainty quantification in numerical ocean wave simulations. The techniques we present can be e...

the mixture of natural and artificial seismic sources with random distributions cause diffuse wave field with random amplitudes and phases called noise. when noise is analyzed in a long-term process, it contains surface waves which are spread in all directions. thus, ambient noise contains data relevant to the surface waves. in recent years, as broadband seismic networks have been distributed v...

In spite of wide spread investigations performed,the biological effects of ultrasound waves,specially on DNA molecule has not been fully understood.since any alteration in DNA molecule can lead to chromosome abnormality,the study of clastogenic effects of ultrasound is important.in this study,the effect of 1MHz frequency continuous waves with the power of 0.5,1 and 1.5 watts on G human lymphocy...

[1] Synchronous infrasonic, video, and wave height measurements were performed during high surf at Polihale beach, Kauai, on March 4–12, 2005. During the experiment, atmospheric sound levels in the 0.5–20 Hz frequency band were associated with large breaking ocean waves. The envelope of surf infrasound signals yields breaking wave periods comparable to those derived from nearshore sea surface e...

[1] The study describes the development, testing and applications of site-specific tsunami inundation models (forecast models) for use in NOAA’s tsunami forecast and warning system. The model development process includes sensitivity studies of tsunami wave characteristics in the nearshore and inundation, for a range of model grid setups, resolutions and parameters. To demonstrate the process, f...

in the present work properties of rossby and inertia gravity waves are investigated based on proper orthogonal decomposition (pod) functions. the pod functions are constructed using analytical, experimental or numerical data recorded as snapshots. the pod basis can be carried out to make a reduced order model by galerkin projection of governing equations onto these functions. in this paper, the...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Remote sensing High frequency radar Coastal processes Instrumentation High frequency (HF) radar has become an important tool for remotely mapping the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of waves and currents of the nearshore coastal ocean. Its acceptance along ocean coasts has resulted in the development of several commercially available systems and a pla...
