High-Resolution Measurement-Based Phase-Resolved Prediction of Ocean Wavefields.

摘要

The primary focus of this research is to develop a phase-resolved capability for intermediate scale, O(10)km, wave environment prediction by integrating whole-field and multiple-point direct measurements of the wave and atmospheric environment with nonlinear simulation-based reconstruction of the wavefield. Given remote and direct physical measurements of a realistic ocean wavefield, we aim to obtain a high-resolution description of the wavefield with direct wave computations including realistic environmental effects such as wind forcing and wave breaking dissipation. We will inform and guide the measurements necessary for achieving this reconstruction and address the validity, accuracy and limitations of such wavefield reconstructions.
