“…46 Oceanographic and hydrodynamic modelling applications for the simulation of coastal and open waters are now well developed. A range of tools is available to predict spatial and temporal variability in currents, temperature and salinity (notably, the Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model FVCOM, 47,48 WeStCOMS-FVCOM 49 and FVCOM-SWAN wave-current model 50 ), and to generate long term 'climatological' scenarios. 51 These models enable determination of areas with suitable conditions, the risk of exceeding operational thresholds, and prediction of future scenarios.…”

Offshore aquaculture has gained momentum in recent years, and the production of an increasing number of marine fish species is being relocated offshore. Initially, predictions of the advantages that offshore aquaculture would present over nearshore farming were made without enough science‐based evidence. Now, with more scientific knowledge, this review revisits past predictions and expectations of offshore aquaculture. We analysed and explained the oceanographic features that define offshore and nearshore sites. Using Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as a case study, we focussed on sea lice, amoebic gill disease, and the risk of harmful algal blooms, as well as the direct effects of the oceanography on the health and physiology of fish. The operational and licencing challenges and advantages of offshore aquaculture are also considered. The lack of space in increasingly saturated sheltered areas will push new farms out to offshore locations and, if appropriate steps are followed, offshore aquaculture can be successful. Firstly, the physical capabilities of the farmed fish species and infrastructure must be fully understood. Secondly, the oceanography of potential sites must be carefully studied to confirm that they are compatible with the species‐specific capabilities. And, thirdly, an economic plan considering the operational costs and licencing limitations of the site must be developed. This review will serve as a guide and a compilation of information for researchers and stakeholders.

“…According to the physical and biochemical environmental conditions of the estuary, SSS may show an upward or downward trend after typhoon transit [2,22,29,30,[68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]. However, studies on marine ecological factors, especially SSS and the response to typhoon transit, are limited and have not been discussed in detail [77][78][79][80]. The South China Sea (CSC) is the largest marginal sea in the Pacific Northwest, and is also a frequent typhoon zone, but it is difficult to obtain measured data during typhoons.…”

The Northwest Pacific and the South China Sea region are the birthplaces of most monsoon disturbances and tropical cyclones and are an important channel for the generation and transmission of water vapor. The Northwest Pacific plays a major role in regulating interdecadal and long-term changes in climate. China experiences the largest number of typhoon landfalls and the most destructive power affected by typhoons in the world. The hidden dangers of typhoon disasters are accelerating with the acceleration of urbanization, the rapid development of economic construction and global warming. The coastal cities are the most dynamic and affluent areas of China's economic development. They are the strong magnetic field that attracts international capital in China, and are also the most densely populated areas and important port groups in China. Although these regions are highly developed, they are vulnerable to disasters. When typhoons hit, the economic losses and casualties caused by gale, heavy rain and storm surges were particularly serious. This chapter reviews the response of coastal ocean to tropical cyclones, included sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, storm surge simulation and extreme rainfall under the influence of tropical cyclones.

While many studies examine the synoptic and dynamic features associated with the growth of tropical cyclones or their landfall, relatively few (Fedorova et al.) examine several case studies of weaker storms near the equator that give rise to fog and mist events over Northeast Brazil. These events can have serious consequences for aerospace operations. In these cases, it was found that the tropical cyclones or disturbances do not come ashore directly, but it is the indirect influence caused by secondary circulations that lead to the formation of fog and mist events. Also, tropical cyclones such as tropical storms and hurricanes generally emerge from tropical disturbances. Over the Atlantic region these disturbances occur with some regularity emanating from formation regions over Africa (African Easterly Waves -AEWs). Reyes and Shen use this quasi-periodicity to develop algorithms to forecast their occurrence using recurrence theory. These results show some promise in extending the lead time for the forecasting of the tropical cyclone "seeds".Other parts of the world, such as the countries of the Northwest Pacific, are also vulnerable to the occurrence of tropical cyclones. A review by Wu and Conde summarizes the previous research done by the authors and collaborators involving the response of coastal ocean dynamics to tropical cyclone occurrence for variables such as sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, storm surge simulation, and extreme rainfall. They also propose three research paths for future work that involves observational, dynamic, and model studies in order to improve the understanding of the future threat these regions may face due to tropical cyclones.Satellite techniques are often used to determine the intensity of tropical cyclones using the area of cold cloud tops near the center as well as storm feature shapes as determined using visible or infrared imagery (the Dvorak technique). The work of Yurchak proposes using the character of the spiral rainbands as derived from not only satellite techniques, but augmenting this with ground and aircraft-based RADAR to determine the shape of the spiral bands. This information can be used to develop a hyperbolic-logarithmic streamline equation that ultimately relates the model to maximum wind speed.Lastly, it was a pleasure to edit this book and work with all the authors and the staff of IntechOpen. The process was rather smooth. I am grateful to all the authors for their contributions, and the staff at IntechOpen for their hard work in keeping the process moving along. This is the third such project that I've been involved with and the experience has been good each time. Finally, it is my hope that the tropical meteorology community finds this book to be a useful resource for augmenting their own studies as well as providing a basis for future research.
