Book Summary

The Science of Ocean Waves establishes waves as complex natural phenomena warranting scientific inquiry, while noting gaps in understanding their physics and forecasting. It explains how waves impact coastal regions, engineering, climate, and more, necessitating advanced wave study. Specifically, the book aims to provide comprehensive coverage of fundamental wave generation, propagation, transformation, and prediction.

Transitioning to key topics, the text examines wave creation by wind, restoring forces, and spectral composition. It explores shoaling, refraction, breaking, and runup on coasts. Additionally, the book covers forecasting, measurement, statistical analysis, and simulations, plus applications like coastal erosion and marine renewables. Complex concepts like nonlinear dynamics and turbulence are elucidated mathematically and visually.

In summary, The Science of Ocean Waves presents a definitive treatise on wave processes spanning theories, observations, and applications. Blending physics concepts with quantitative analysis, it provides sophisticated yet accessible coverage of waves influencing coasts and infrastructures. While elucidating complex fluid behaviors, the text maintains intuitive explanations aided by illustrations. Overall, the book equips readers with integrated knowledge of ocean wave science and engineering.

The Science of Ocean Waves notes rapid progress in wave research, while emphasizing persistent gaps at intersections like climate science and policy. It calls for ongoing advances via global collaboration between academia, government, and industry. The book aims to spur such innovation by cultivating an informed, curious next generation of wave scientists.
