What is the size ranges of surface waves? How are ocean surface waves formed? What force generates surface ocean waves? What type of seismic waves are S-waves? What seismic wave causes vertical movement on the surface? What causes surface currents on the ocean?
Assuming a homogeneous current field, semidiurnal tidal ellipses are synthesized and compared with currents, as documented in the "Atlas der Gezeitenstrme in der Deutschen Bucht" (Deutsches Hydrographisches Institut [1983]).doi:10.1007/BF02275373Heinz-Hermann Essen...
Due to the viscosity of the liquid, the surface movement induces currents all over the liquid. As a result, surface tension driven flows, helping the heat transfer ahead of the flame, represent an important mechanism for the preheating of the liquid to the flash point. Thereby, the rate of...
We study the evolution of large systems of sticky patches of pollution that float on the sea surface and are moved around by realistic wind and simulated surface currents. The study area is the Gulf of Finland in the eastern Baltic Sea that hosts extremely heavy cargo and tanker traffic. It...
coastal and offshore waves generated by TCs can still cause dangerous surf conditions, rip currents, and severe coastal erosion10,11. Surface waves can be an important contributor to extreme sea levels, which are recognised as a major natural hazard in the present and future. Compared to atmosph...

In addition, topography could enhance wind-driven flow pattern where the currents are directed toward the deep channel and exit the bay at the deepest part of the mouth (this is seen most clearly in the DB and CB). The DB has a distinctly different pattern than the other two bays with ...
On a wave exposed reef flat, diurnal thermally driven exchange was relatively unaffected by wave height (Molina et al., 2014), but wave range was limited and alongshore variability was strong. Transient rip-currents (TRCs) are strong, episodic offshore directed flows commonly generated within ...
It should also be noted that two pairs of peak and valley values for the mooring forces and heave motion are observed in Fig. 9, while sway and heave motions only have one peak and valley value, which is similar to what is found in the observations of a vertically moored floating body....
Figure 3c leads to another important conclusion of our symmetry analysis: regardless of the pump polarization, all signals Sx and Syz are, respectively, dominated by just one fast and one slow waveform. We use these signals to extract the underlying source currents (see the 'Methods' section),...
