Founded in 1876, Texas A&M University is a U.S. public and comprehensive university offering a wide variety of academic programs far beyond its original label of agricultural and mechanical trainings. It is one of the few institutions holding triple federal designations as a land-, sea- and ...
A water mass whose typical values are -0.5– 0.5°C and 34.87–34.90.
Industry:Earth science
A water type originating from the dilution of Caribbean Subtropical Underwater.
Industry:Earth science
A wave on a fluid interface for which the restoring force is surface tension.
Industry:Earth science
A wave spectrum developed for fetch–limited wind waves. This is basically the Pierson–Moskowitz spectrum multipled by an extra peak enhancement factor and fetch–dependent scale parameters.
Industry:Earth science
A wave spectrum developed to incorporate finite depth effects into the JONSWAP spectrum.
Industry:Earth science
A wave spectrum method for wave forecasting developed by Pierson, Neumann and James (Pierson et al. (1955)) in the mid-1950s. Each wind velocity produces a certain range of wave periods with a well-defined maximum, with the total range of periods increasing with the wind velocity along with the energy within the total spectrum. The significant wave height can be found with method along with the spectrum information.
Industry:Earth science
A wave which travels parallel to a coastline with crests normal to the coastline. The height of the wave diminishes rapidly offshore.
Industry:Earth science
A WCRP program to address the interaction of the surface energy balance, atmospheric radiation, and clouds over the Arctic Ocean.
Industry:Earth science
A well-defined core of strong wind, ranging from 200-300 miles (320-480 km) wide with wind speeds up to 200 mph (320 kph), that occurs in the vicinity of the tropopause.
