An overview of recent technologies on wave and current measurement in coastal and marine applications
The coastal ocean is the most important zone for the maritime countries for recreation, mineral and energy exploitation, weather forecasting and national security. Understanding of coastal and oceanic processes is mostly based on field measurements and laboratory experiments. Most coastal processes occur over relatively long time spans and have large spatial extents. They also involve or are impacted by a...

A theoretical spectrum for multi-peaked energy sea states
The single peaked JONSWAP and double peaked Torsethaugen spectra are unable to simulate multi-peaked spectral sea states effectively. A theoretical spectrum was developed from a modified Weibull distribution and presented. The multi-peaked wave power spectra recorded by a deep-water buoy deployed in the Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean by the National Institute of Ocean Technology were simulated using this theoretical...
