Abstract Meteotsunami waves can be triggered by atmospheric disturbances accompanying tropical cyclone rainbands (TCRs) before, during, and long after a (TC) makes landfall. Due to paucity of high‐resolution field data along open coasts during TCs, relatively little is known about the forcing that generate resonantly amplify these ocean waves, nor their coastal impact. This study links measurements sea level air pressure from Hurricane Harvey (2017) with numerical model assess potential for...

The ability to achieve low phase noise single-mode oscillation within an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) is of fundamental importance. In the frequency-tunable OEO, wide microwave photonic filter (MPF) bandwidth detrimental select among large number cavity modes, thus leading signal quality and spectral purity. Stable can be achieved in a time delay OEO system by harnessing mechanism from parity-time (PT) symmetry. Here, PT-symmetric tunable based on dual-wavelength cascaded phase-shifted...

Barrier islands span 10% of the world's coastlines and dominate along Atlantic Gulf Mexico coasts in USA routinely exposed to storm surge. These serve as buffers between open coast mainland, protect mainland from damage. During storms, significant morphological change can occur, including substantial erosion islands' vegetated dunes. In this study, focus is on influence belowground biomass – namely dune plant roots topographic characteristics barrier-island during storms. The numerical model...

A recent submarine volcanic eruption in Tonga has sparked interest the scientific communityregarding power and impact of tsunamis generated by activity. In an effort tobetter understand underlying physics, NSF-funded experiment was conducted at O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory Oregon State University.

During tropical cyclones, processes including dune erosion, overwash, inundation, and storm-surge ebb can rapidly reshape barrier islands, thereby increasing coastal hazards flood exposure inland. Relatively few measurements are available to evaluate the physical shaping systems close shore during these extreme events as it is inherently challenging obtain reliable field data due energetic waves rapid bed level changes which damage or shift instrumentation. However, such observations...

During tropical cyclones, meteotsunami waves can be triggered by atmospheric disturbances accompanying cyclone rainbands (TCRs). Due to a paucity of high resolution field data along open coasts during these extreme events, relatively little is known about generation TCRs and the coastal impact wave phenomena. Here we link high-resolution measurements sea-level air pressure from Hurricane Harvey (2017) with numerical model show that large drops in trains very narrow initiate O(40 cm) height...
