Hurricane-generated seas
This book is designed as a reference for researchers, designers, graduate students and technical managers in naval, ocean and coastal engineering. It presents information on the severity of hurricane-generated seas in the deep ocean, in finite water depth of the continental shelf as well as nearshor...
