Reminiscences on the study of wind waves

Wave is considered to be as well wave if it satisfies at least two of the formulas; otherwise it is considered a wind wave. The waves in the Bohai Gulf during the experiment period were categorized according to the method.

Activities are supported by extensive specialist facilities on the Newcastle main campus, including the UK's only operational Cavitation Tunnel as well as a unique Wind Wave Current Tank designed to simulate a range of seastates individually or simultaneously.

These differences, as well as local small-scale variations of wind wave fields, are not accounted for in our simulations that have a spatial resolution of about 470 m.

The wind wave background was small on 24-29 July 2008, with wind wave heights less than 20 cm on 24 July and below 10 cm on other days (Fig.

As very high (more than 1 m above the mean sea level) water level events are rare, the wind wave impact is concentrated into a relatively narrow area in the coastal zone.
