The field of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) has witnessed rapid advancements, particularly in the integration of wave energy harvesting systems. These vehicles convert the incessant kinetic energy ...

A new paper from an international team of more than 50 researchers, including four from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, proposes the creation of a global observing network of ...

A laser-equipped research platform has, for the first time, photographed airflow just millimeters above ocean waves, revealing two simultaneous wind–wave energy-transfer tricks—slow short waves steal ...

Ocean waves are a vast and steady source of renewable energy, but capturing their power efficiently has long frustrated engineers. A researcher at The University of Osaka has now explored a bold new ...

Both winds and tides inject energy into the ocean. Much of that energy is then transported up to thousands of miles by internal waves: large-scale underwater waves that can travel between ocean basins ...

Ocean wave prediction and analysis stand at the forefront of marine science and engineering, addressing both the challenges and opportunities presented by complex sea states. Recent advancements have ...
