This study presents a setup of the wind wave forecasting model WAM working over the Baltic Sea in operational mode. The work is a part of the PROZA project financed from the Polish Innovative Economy Programme and the European Regional Development Fund. The modelling results are verified against observations recorded with a directional waverider buoy. The results of the validation studies are presented in this paper. The agreement between the modelled and observed wave data obtained was quite good. The model setup is part of the system allowing for operational decision-making based on atmospheric and sea conditions.In the next stage of the project we are seeking for improvement of the modelling accuracy by taking into account wave-current interactions. To this end a new version of POM with embedded wave sub-model has been implemented. Based on cross-comparisons against observed waverider buoy data and the results obtained with WAM, some adjustments of the parameters controlling the coupled circulation-wave POM were applied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
