Peisen TanUConn Marine SciencesThe melodious encounter of the atmosphere and the ocean: Air-sea interaction across a wide range of wind and wave conditions Ocean waves profoundly contribute to the upper ocean turbulence and mixing. Most ocean waves are generated by the wind. However, a lack of quantitative measurement of wave growth under wind forcings exists due to instrument limitations. To thoroughly study the wave growth under wind forcing and improve numerical wave models, we conducted laboratory experiments for a wide range of wind forcing in the University of Miami's wind-wave facility SUSTAIN (SUrge STructural Air-sea INteraction Facility). Pure wind seas, irregular JONSWAP spectrum waves, and regular monochromatic waves at different frequencies were generated by the mechanical paddles for testing. We directly measured the static air pressure, wind speeds, and water surface displacement at sampling frequencies up to 1000 Hz. In addition, a wave follower was deployed to sample the static pressure behind the wave crest. Our wave growth rates agree with the revisited Miles' Theory that incorporates airside turbulence. The Jeffreys' Sheltering hypothesis remains valid, although it depends on an empirical constant: the sheltering coefficient A. We found that A follows a "U" shape with wind forcing: The strongest aerodynamic sheltering, corresponding to the smallest A, was identified at U10 around 33 m/s (Category-1 hurricane intensity). Our wind stress partition at the air-sea interface agrees with previous laboratory and model results. Our findings suggest that airflow separation plays a pivotal role in the wave growth and that some tuning of existing wave growth theories paves the way for a novel parameterization of wave growth and wind input in future wave models.Host: Cara ManningTime & Date: 11:00 am, Friday, November 7, 2025Place: Lowell Weicker Building, Seminar Room 103 (or Webex)Request Seminar InformationCancellation & Additional Seminar Details (https://marinesciences.uconn.edu/seminar/seminar1258/)If you are an individual with a disability and need accommodations, please contact 860-405-9152 (tel:+18604059152) or email marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu (mailto:marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu).This is an Honors Event.

Marketing Department Seminar Series (https://marketing.business.uconn.edu/research/seminar-series/) Name: Kelley Gullo Wight (https://kelley.iu.edu/faculty-research/faculty-directory/profile.html?id=kgullo) Institution: Indiana University Topic: Emotionality of Online Reviews Varies by Time of Day

Designed for psychiatry department clinicians. Learning objectives: 1. Identify autism in adults who are high functioning and do not show obvious signs 2. Differentiate between autism and other diagnoses which have similar presentations 3. List sensory issues which impact autistic adults and their behavior 4. Discuss the reasons why people self-diagnose their autism 5. Define neuroaffirmation and its implementation

12 Step Recovery Meetings - Two Offerings! 12 Step Recovery is a fellowship of people who come together to build an individualized program of recovery based on the program's 12 Steps of Recovery. This pathway includes a spiritual component, Higher Power, that is unique to each individual, and that may evolve or change completely over time. 12 Step Recovery at UConn is intended to provide exposure and practice with 1) 12 Steps overall with a strong focus on the first three Steps, 2) primary program components, literature, and guiding principles, and 3) building a community of support and fellowship. 12 Step Recovery is an abstinence-based program designed originally to support people living with addiction to substances; however, it has grown to include other types of addictions and problem behaviors. Meetings are facilitated by students for students. UConn Storrs offers a weekly in-person meeting on campus at Cordial Storrs House, as well as a weekly meeting that is online only. IN-PERSON ONLY, Offered at the UConn Recovery Community Wednesdays, 6:00 - 7:00pm Cordial Storrs House, 1332 Storrs Road, Storrs Campus All UConn Students are Welcome - Any campus!
