Statistical Analyses of Wave Height and Wind Velocity Distributions for the Sea of Marmara

Statistical Analyses of Wave Height and Wind Velocity Distributions for the Sea of Marmara

The Sea of Marmara, a relatively small basin located between the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea with narrow seaways of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, has vital importance in coastal and ocean engineering activities due to substantial industrial development surrounding it and related sea traffic. D...
