Wave Breaking (WB): The process in which a surface wave becomes unstable and collapses, releasing energy that enhances local turbulence and facilitates the mixing of the ocean’s upper layers.

Understanding the complex dynamics of wave breaking and the formation of whitecaps is essential for predicting ocean wave behavior and improving oceanic models. This pivotal work, which describes ...

The FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility in Edinburgh, featuring an 82-feet (25-meter) circular basin capable of generating waves from multiple directions.

These often-chaotic energetic processes affect upper ocean dynamics, thermodynamics, and biogeochemistry. A department of UC San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography is one of the oldest, ...

Sustainable energy is not only beneficial but essential, and ocean wave energy has emerged as a promising solution. Helping to chart this course is Chris Rauch, P.E., senior mechanical engineer ...
