Waves and Swells in High Wind and Extreme Fetches, Measurements in the Southern Ocean

Waves and Swells in High Wind and Extreme Fetches, Measurements in the Southern Ocean

The generation and evolution of ocean waves by wind is one of the most complex phenomena in geophysics, and is of great practical significance. Predictive capabilities of respective wave models, however, are impaired by lack of field in situ observations, particularly in extreme Metocean conditions....
