Nonlinear components of wakes from large high-speed ships at times carry a substantial
part of the wake energy and behave completely differently compared to the classical Kelvin …

The main findings of studies of the physical oceanography of the Gulf of Finland (GoF)
during 1997–2007 are reviewed. The aim is to discuss relevant updates published in …

Basic properties of wind wave climate in the Gulf of Riga, the Baltic Sea, are evaluated
based on modelled wave fields, instrumentally measured and historical visually observed …

Meteorological parameters of windstorm Gudrun on 8–9 January 2005 and its hydrodynamic
and environmental consequences are analysed on the basis of observational data and …

The wind wave regime of Tallinn Bay, Gulf of Finland, is analysed with the use of a simplified
method of long-term computations of wave fields based on a high-resolution nested WAM …

The paper analyses one of the longest contemporary wave measurements in the northern
Baltic Sea, performed at Almagrundet 1978–2003. This record contains the roughest …

This chapter gives a brief introduction to the Baltic Sea, which is a special sea in several
respects. It is one of the largest brackish‐water inland seas in the world and it has …

The directional distribution of moderate and strong winds in the Baltic Sea region is shown
to be strongly anisotropic. The dominating wind direction is south-west and a secondary …

A cyclone known as Gudrun in the Nordic countries developed above the North Atlantic and
traveled over the British Isles, Scandinavia, and Finland on January 7–9, 2005. As a result of …

The wind regime of the Gulf of Finland consists of SW and north winds dominating in the
whole Baltic Sea basin and of local east and west winds blowing along the axis of the gulf …
