This paper evaluates the impact of using different wind field products on the performance of
the third generation wave model SWAN in the Black Sea and its capability for predicting both …

This study aims to investigate the quality of ERA5, a recent reanalysis wind product, and its
contribution to wave modelling performance in a semi-closed sea, the Black Sea. This …

This study aims to investigate wave power along the northern coasts of the Gulf of Oman. To
simulate wave parameters the third generation spectral SWAN model was utilized, and the …

Surface gravity waves are formed by kinetic energy transfer across the air‐sea interface.
Significant improvements have been made in understanding the influence of wind on the …

This paper compares and evaluates three wave hindcasts in the North Atlantic Ocean: ERA-
Interim, NOAA/CFSR and HIPOCAS. The assessment was performed using satellite data …

This study aims at an assessment of wind re-analyses for modelling storms in the Black Sea.
A wind-wave modelling system (Simulating WAve Nearshore, SWAN) is applied to the Black …

Two pairs of comparisons between HIPOCAS and ERA reanalysis are performed in this
paper. HIPOCAS is a hindcast developed under a European project and it is the result of the …

Within the framework of the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS),
an operational wave forecasting system for the Mediterranean Sea has been implemented …

Storms propagate over the ocean and create moving patches of strong winds that generate
swell systems. Here, we describe the dynamics of wave generation under a moving storm by …

The impact of wind gustiness on the evolution of wave fields is analyzed by superimposing
to the nominal wind speed a fluctuation whose amplitude is related to the local air‐sea …
