Wave modelling in archipelagos

TL;DR: In this paper, the wave model WAM was used to model the wave field in the Archipelago Sea, and 10 different high-resolution grids were generated based on coastal nautical charts with horizontal resolutions of 0.1 and 0.5 nmi using two different methods to compile land-sea mask and additional grid obstructions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparing a 41-year model hindcast with decades of wave measurements from the Baltic Sea

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented ice-free and ice-included statistics for the Baltic Sea using a wave hindcast validated against data from 13 wave measurement sites, showing that the effect of the ice cover is largest in the Bay of Bothnia, where the mean significant wave height is reduced by 30% when the ice time is included in the statistics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling wave growth in narrow fetch geometries: The white-capping and wind input formulations

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of three different wave model source term packages in narrow fetch geometries was investigated, and the results indicated that the ST6 white-capping is too weak to balance its strong wind input.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gravity-Capillary Wave Spectral Modulation by Gravity Waves

TL;DR: The results are presented to show the modulation of gravity-capillary and pure capillary waves as variations in mean square slope over the long wave phase, with peak roughness enhancement found to move upwind of the longWave crest with increasing wind forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of Wave Energy Potential for the Baltic Sea with Focus on the Swedish Exclusive Economic Zone

TL;DR: In this paper, a third-generation wave model is used to examine the wave power resource for the Baltic Sea region at an unprecedented onekilometer-scale resolution for the years 1998 to 2013.
