This paper reviews research in ocean engineering over the last 50+ years with the aim to (I)
understand the technological challenges and evolution in the field,(II) investigate whether …

Rip currents are narrow and concentrated seaward-directed flows that extend from close to
the shoreline, through the surf zone, and varying distances beyond. Rip currents are …

Coral reefs can provide significant coastal protection benefits to people and property. Here
we show that the annual expected damages from flooding would double, and costs from …

Ocean waves are a promising source of renewable energy. In this paper, we briefly
introduce the characteristics of ocean wave energy and summarize the principles of …

In the long term development of the research on wind waves and their modelling, in
particular of the inner and coastal seas, the present situation is framed with a short look at …

In this paper, we analyze the surface winds of ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis in the Atlantic
Ocean. The first part addresses a reanalysis validation, studying the spatial distribution of …

Coastal erosion is a normal process of nature. However, the rate of coastal erosion, and the
frequency and intensity of coastal flooding events, are now on the rise around the world due …

This review paper reports on the state-of-the-art concerning observations of surface winds,
waves, and currents from space and their use for scientific research and subsequent …

The Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission will carry into space the
Ocean Color Instrument (OCI), a spectrometer measuring at 5 nm spectral resolution in the …

A ship route optimization system aimed at facing the challenges of a demanding maritime
trade is presented. The paper describes the complete on-board ship weather routing system …
