Hurricane generated waves as observed by satellite

摘要: A data set consisting of observations significant wave height and wind speed within mature hurricanes has been obtained from the GEOSAT satellite mission. Due to global coverage satellite, this is extensive, 100 hurricanes. In addition, as rapidly propagates across region influenced by hurricane field, an almost instantaneous cross-section through observed. These features mean that significantly more comprehensive than those previously presented. The confirm importance both maximum velocity forward movement in determining magnitude distribution field. are presented terms a relatively simple parametric model. This model represents compact description tool for engineering design.
