By Daniel Garcia Offshore wind turbines planted in hurricane-prone waters are engineered to endure the most violent storms on earth. But for years, the wind models and wave models used to define those extremes have been developed separately — producing design conditions that don’t necessarily reflect the same storm, or even the same physics. As… Read More
