Nearshore rhythmicity is often initiated in the period just after a storm where the subtidal bar is turned alongshore uniform. The initiation time as well as the length scales of the created rhythmicity varies from one storm period to another. Here we show that the post-storm wave conditions are related to the initiation of the morphological rhythmicity. Narrow-banded and long wave period, both...

Ocean waves move due to gravity: the water at crests is heavier than the air surrounding it and so it falls, overshoots its equilibrium position and then at a trough feels an upward restoring force. The same phenomena occurs below the ocean surface. Cold water lifted upward into warmer surroundings will feel a downward buoyancy force and downwarddisplaced warm water will feel an upward buoyancy...

Background Due to the advancement of technology and communication, mobile and Wi-Fi have become as an integral part of human life, particularly young population. Thus, a review of EM wave’s effects on the reproductive health has become one of the critical matters of researches in medical field. The accession of using Wi-Fi around the world now has made it possible that about 450 million family ...

On synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired over the ocean often sea surface signatures of atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) as well as of oceanic internal waves are visible. They often look quite similar and it is not always easy to decide whether the wave-like patterns result from AGWs or from oceanic internal waves. In this paper we present criteria how to discriminate between these two...

Coastal ocean processes are complicated and they happen as various phenomena that span a vast range of spatial and temporal scales. For instance, general circulations of oceans occur at global scales (Wunsch & Ferrari, 2004). Tropical waves that eventually impact coastal waters propagate with wavelengths of one thousand kilometers and periods of one month (Legeckis et al., 1983). Langmuir cells...

[1] Comparison of the ambient noise data recorded at near-coastal ocean bottom and inland seismic stations at the Oregon coast with both offshore and nearshore buoy data shows that the near-coastal microseism spectrum results primarily from nearshore gravity wave activity. Low double-frequency (DF), microseism energy is observed at near-coastal locations when seas nearby are calm, even when ver...

This paper describes a model package that simulates coastal flooding resulting from storm surge and waves generated by tropical cyclones. The package consists of four component models implemented at three levels of nested geographic regions, namely, ocean, coastal, and nearshore. The operation is automated through a preprocessor that prepares the computational grids and input atmospheric condit...
