Nearshore wave predictions along the Oregon and southwest Washington coast

Creator:: García-Medina, Gabriel
Abstract:: This thesis contains a manuscript describing the implementation of a high resolution wave forecasting model for the coasts of Washington and Oregon. The purpose of this project was to advance the wave predictive capabilities of the states of Oregon and the southwest part of Washington by including the effects of...

Wave runup : Physics, variability, and societal impacts

Creator:: García Medina, Gabriel
Abstract:: The U.S. Pacific Northwest is home to one of the most extreme wave climates in the world with waves of 10 m in height arriving to the coast approximately each year. With an average water temperature of 12℃, the beaches in the region are too cold to go on a...

The effects of changing climate on estuarine water levels: a United States Pacific Northwest case study

Creator:: Parker, Kai, Hill, David, García-Medina, Gabriel, and Beamer, Jordan
Abstract:: Climate change impacts on extreme water levels (WLs) at two United States Pacific Northwest estuaries are investigated using a multicomponent process-based modeling framework. The integrated impact of climate change on estuarine forcing is considered using a series of sub-models that track changes to oceanic, atmospheric, and hydrologic controls on hydrodynamics....

An Inner-Shelf Wave Forecasting System for the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Garcia-Medina, Gabriel, Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba, Ruggiero, Peter, and Oskamp, Jeffrey
Abstract:: An operational inner-shelf wave forecasting system was implemented for the Oregon and southwest Washington coast in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW). High-resolution wave forecasts are useful for navigational planning, identifying wave energy resources, providing information for site-specific coastal flood models, and having an informed recreational beach user group, among other...

Nearshore Wind-Wave Forecasting at the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Garcia, Gabriel, Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba, and Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: This presentation was given as part of Oregon State University's College of Oceanographic and Atmospheric Sciences graduate student seminar series. It describes the basics of wave forecasting and then focuses on work implementing a wave forecasting system for the Oregon and Southwestern Washington Coast.

Power Output Calculations for an Array of Point-absorber Wave Energy Converters

Creator:: García-Castaño, Manuel
Abstract:: This study presents a methodology for power take off (PTO) forecasting for an array of heave wave energy converters (WECs). Based on spectral data obtained directly from the National Data Buoy Center, representative realistic sea states are generated at the location of the WECs, and by using two wave-structure interaction...

Does eddy-eddy interaction control surface phytoplankton distribution and carbon export in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre?

Creator:: Guidi, Lionel, Calil, Paulo H. R., Duhamel, Solange, Bjoerkman, Karin M., Doney, Scott C., Jackson, George A., Li, Binglin, Church, Matthew J., Tozzi, Sasha, Kolber, Zbigniew S., Richards, Kelvin J., Fong, Allison A., Letelier, Ricardo M., Gorsky, Gabriel, Stemmann, Lars, and Karl, David M.
Abstract:: In the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG), the regular occurrence of summer phytoplankton blooms contributes to marine ecosystem productivity and the annual carbon export. The mechanisms underlying the formation, maintenance, and decay of these blooms remain largely unknown; nitrogen fixation, episodic vertical mixing of nutrients, and meso- (<100 km) and...

The impact of wave energy converter arrays on wave-induced forcing in the surf zone

Creator:: O'Dea, Annika, Haller, Merrick C., and Ozkan-Haller, H. Tuba
Abstract:: An alternative metric for assessing nearshore hydrodynamic impact due to Wave Energy Converter (WEC) arrays is presented that is based on the modeled changes in alongshore radiation stress gradients in the lee of the array. The metric is developed using a previously observed relationship between measured radiation stresses and alongshore...

On the nearshore impact of wave energy converter arrays

Creator:: O'Dea, Annika Magnuson
Abstract:: Radiation stresses, defined as the excess flow of momentum due to the presence of waves (Longuet-Higgins, 1964), are the main drivers behind the cross-shore and longshore forcing that results in wave setup, set-down, and longshore currents (e.g. Svendsen, 2006). Longshore currents entrain and transport sediment and therefore play an important...

Weather and large waves along the Oregon coast: atmospheric controls on a numerical wave model

Creator:: Ellenson, Ashley N.
Abstract:: In this study, the effects of implementing different wind input or physics packages in a numerical wave model to recreate large wave conditions are explored. Three large wave events are simulated with WaveWatch III. The wind inputs which are compared are NCEP's Global Forecasting System (GFS) with 0.5 degree resolution...
