Long-term wind and wave energy resource assessment in the South China sea based on 30-year hindcast data
TL;DR: In this paper, the long-term wind and wave characteristics, and their associated stored power, are investigated in the South China Sea (SCS) from 1986 to 2015, and the spatio-temporal patterns of annual, seasonal and monthly averaged wind fields and wind power density, significant wave heights, and wave potential are presented using the 30-year simulated results.
