Abstract

Reliable prediction of oceanic waves during severe marine storms has always been foremost for offshore platform design, coastal activities, and navigation safety. Indeed, many damaging accidents and casualties at sea have been most likely ascribed to abnormal and unexpected waves during storms. In this respect, the research project "ASTROWAVES-2" aims at improving the existing knowledge on the characterization of oceanic maximum and rogue waves during tropical cyclones and typhoons.

Obiettivi

In the project ASTROWAVES-2, we shall apply the WASS technology to undertake accurate offshore stereo measurements of maxima and rogue waves at the oceanographic facilities Gageocho-ORS and Ieodo-ORS (Yellow Sea). In such facilities, dedicated WASS stereo systems have already been successfully designed, installed, and operated by researchers of KIOST, ISMAR, and UNIVE. We then aim to operate WASS to recover accurate estimates of spatio-temporal wave fields during extreme wave conditions, including typhoons. Wave data will be analyzed to provide statistical distributions of maxima and rogue crest and wave heights.
