VARIABILITY OF OCEAN WAVE HINDCASTS DUE TO WIND MODELS

Júlio Carlos Teixeira, Marcos Pimenta de Abreu, C. Guedes Soares

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Two wind modes were developed and their results compared with data gathered during the Wangara experiment, so as to characterise their uncertainty. One of the models was adopted to generate the wind fields used as input to a second generation wave model. The relative error in the wind speed was considered in order to assess the uncertainties of the predictions of the significant wave height. Different time steps for the wind input were also used to determine their effect on the predicted significant wave height.
