Abstract:The long-term goal is to implement input and dissipation source functions, based on advanced understanding of physics of air-sea interactions, wave breaking and swell attenuation, in waveforecast models.
OBJECTIVESThe objectives are to use new observation-based source terms for the wind input, wave-breaking (whitecapping) dissipation and swell decay in the third-generation models WAVEWATCH-III and SWAN. Calibration and performance of the source functions have to satisfy a set of physical constraints, and the m… Show more
