The use of ships and boats as sea-state (SS) measurement platforms has the potential to expand ocean observations while providing actionable information for real-time operational decision-making at sea. Within the framework of the Wave Buoy Analogy (WBA), this work develops an inverse approach in which efficient simulations of wave-induced motions of an advancing vessel are used to train a neural network (NN) to predict SS par...

Coastal hazard is assessed along the US East Coast (USEC) through model simulation of 14 probable maximum tsunamis (PMTs) from sources located in the North Atlantic Ocean basin, in terms of: (i) standard inundation maps and other hazard products, and (ii) a limited probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (PTHA) based on these. Tsunami sources are based on historical records or are hypothetical, including extreme seismic events i...
