GEOS 218 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Rogue Wave, Wave Power, Megathrust Earthquake
Document Summary
What side of continents are receiving cold water coming down from the poles? cold along. The longer the fetch means the longer the duration. What is necessary for a fully developed sea? energy of the wind equal to energy of the waves. Where on the sea curve would you like to surf? surf on west coast. Why are there bigger waves on west coast? the wind goes towards the coast. No, because the water particles slow down the deeper you go. Highest individual waves- two times the significant wave height. Focusing of wave energy- wave in counter current shortens frequency. Spectrum of waves- capillary waves to small waves. How tall have rogue waves been measured? https://oceanservice. noaa. gov/facts/roguewaves. html http://www. dailymotion. com/video/x225ztn (@11:53) What is necessary to create rogue wave in a lab? https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=qwwe9pmuvng&feature=emb_logo. 2 smaller groups of waves that crossed at 120 degrees.
