Greg Williams1 1RPS MetOcean, For over 40 years, RPS have conducted metocean measurement programmes on the North West Shelf of Australia and established a suite of state-of-the-art tools and proven wind, wave, and current model configurations for setting design and...

Darren Burrowes1 1Bluezone Group, , Methods for measuring waves and winds from a Wave Glider Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) are described and evaluated. The wave method utilises the frequency spectra of orbital velocities measured by GPS, and the wind stress...

Prof. Alexander Babanin1 1University of Melbourne, , Australia This major update of the physics of the third generation models took 15 years to complete and the effort is ongoing. New source terms for wind input, whitecapping dissipation, interaction of waves...

Qingxiang Liu Although the Southern Ocean is often viewed as a very remote area, it plays a critical role in global climate. Waves generated in intense Southern Ocean storms propagate across the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and define the...

Miss Imogen Rea1, Mrs Anna Riddell1 1Geoscience Australia, , Geoscience Australia is delivering a national capability that will provide accurate, reliable and instant positioning across Australia and its maritime zones. To ensure that accurate positioning information can be received without...
