Book excerpt: Hurricanes are one of the most adverse aspects of the ocean environment, with the potential to cause a disastrous event for marine systems in the ocean. Hurricane Generated Seas 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 ships and offshore structures Includes detailed analysis of hurricane sea wave data obtained by buoys

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characteristics of a growing sea during hurricanes are significantly different from those observed in ordinary storms since the source of energy generating waves is moving and the rate of change of wind speed is very fast. This thesis presents the results of a study on the growth of sea severity during hurricanes with the aid of a wave spectral formulation representing the associated sea conditions. Through analysis of spectra obtained from wave data during the growing stage of five hurricanes, it is found that the Modified JONSWAP spectral formulation well represents field data over a wide range of frequencies. This enables us to evaluate the general trend of the growth of a hurricane generated sea by applying the Modified JONSWAP spectrum. The two parameters (significant wave height and modal frequency) involved in the Modified JONSWAP spectrum are presented as a function of wind speed which permits the presentation of the growth of the wave spectrum as a function of wind speed. It is found that, during the growing stage of a hurricane, the increase in wave energy in the neighborhood of the modal frequency is much greater than that at any other frequency of the spectrum.

Book excerpt: The massive destruction wreaked by the Hurricane of 1938 dwarfed that of the Chicago Fire, the San Francisco Earthquake, and the Mississippi floods of 1927, making the storm the worst natural disaster in U.S. history. Now, R.A. Scotti tells the story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A panoramic social history of hurricanes in the Caribbean The diverse cultures of the Caribbean have been shaped as much by hurricanes as they have by diplomacy, commerce, or the legacy of colonial rule. In this panoramic work of social history, Stuart Schwartz examines how Caribbean societies have responded to the dangers of hurricanes, and how these destructive storms have influenced the region's history, from the rise of plantations, to slavery and its abolition, to migrations, racial conflict, and war. Taking readers from the voyages of Columbus to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Schwartz looks at the ethical, political, and economic challenges that hurricanes posed to the Caribbean’s indigenous populations and the different European peoples who ventured to the New World to exploit its riches. He describes how the United States provided the model for responding to environmental threats when it emerged as a major power and began to exert its influence over the Caribbean in the nineteenth century, and how the region’s governments came to assume greater responsibilities for prevention and relief, efforts that by the end of the twentieth century were being questioned by free-market neoliberals. Schwartz sheds light on catastrophes like Katrina by framing them within a long and contentious history of human interaction with the natural world. Spanning more than five centuries and drawing on extensive archival research in Europe and the Americas, Sea of Storms emphasizes the continuing role of race, social inequality, and economic ideology in the shaping of our responses to natural disaster.
