Sea state information is needed for many applications, ranging from safety at sea and on the
coast, for which real time data are essential, to planning and design needs for infrastructure …

This paper concerns the collation, quality control, and analysis of single-point field
measurements from fixed sensors mounted on offshore platforms. In total, the quality …

Uncertainties of wave data and models got increasing attention in the last decades by the
marine industry because of their importance for safety at sea. Improved knowledge about …

The mechanisms governing the evolution of the wind-wave field in time and in space are not
yet fully understood. Various theoretical approaches have been offered to model wind-wave …

Stereo 3D reconstruction of ocean waves is gaining more and more popularity in the
oceanographic community and industry. Indeed, recent advances of both computer vision …

Wave–current interaction can result in significant inhomogeneities of the ocean surface
wave field, including modulation of the spectrum, wave breaking rates, and wave statistics …

Stereo imaging of the sea surface elevation provides unique field data to investigate the
geometry and dynamics of oceanic waves. Typically, this technique allows retrieving the 4-D …

In this paper, an observational space–time ensemble of sea surface elevations is
investigated in search of the highest waves of the sea state. Wave data were gathered by …

Short-crested breaking waves that result from directionally spread wave conditions dissipate
energy and generate turbulence within the surf zone, altering sediment transport processes …

The energy level and its directional distribution are key observations for understanding the
energy balance in the wind-wave spectrum between wind-wave generation, nonlinear …
