This is an invaluable reference for all involved in the field of naval, ocean and coastal engineering. The work clarifies hurricane generated sea conditions necessary for the design and operation of marine systems in a seaway, and provides information for the protection of near shore / onshore structures and the environment at the time of hurricane landing.Reveals Information vital for avoidance of disastrous events experienced by sh 410 0$aElsevier ocean engineering book series ;$vv. 8. 606 $aHurricanes 606 $aOcean waves 615 0$aHurricanes. 615 0$aOcean waves. 676 $a551.46/3 22 676 $a551.463 676 $a551.463 700 $aOchi$b Michael K$01824015 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911004769303321 996 $aHurricane-generated seas$94391032 997 $aUNINA
