A climatology of the wind waves in the Mediterranean Sea is presented. The climate patterns, their spatio-temporal variability and change are based on a 40-year (1980–2019) wave hindcast, obtained by combining the ERA5 reanalysis wind forcing with the state-of-the-art WAVEWATCH III spectral wave model and verified against satellite altimetry.
26 lip 2021 · The Mediterranean Sea is a semi-enclosed basin with large spatial and seasonal variability of both winds and wavefields, making it an excellent laboratory to study the effects of the interaction of the wind- and wave-induced currents in the general circulation.
The database, named MWM – Mediterranean Wind Wave Model – is based on numerical models (hindcast approach) and required intensive use of all existing measurements both for calibration and continuous validation purposes.
1 lis 2021 · The climate variability of wind waves is evaluated at seasonal scale by proposing and adopting a definition of seasons for the Mediterranean Sea states that is based on the satellite...
The Bora, Sirocco, Meltemi, Tramontane, Lebeccio, Mistral and Marin are the most common winds of the Mediterranean. How can you get to know them in advance and what should you expect from them while at sea?
9 sty 2024 · Wind-waves have an important role in Earth system dynamics through air–sea interactions and are key drivers of coastal and offshore hydro-morphodynamics that affect communities,...
28 wrz 2022 · This study investigates the spatial and temporal variability of coastal extreme sea levels in the Mediterranean basin, using a new ocean hindcast generated with a coupled hydrodynamic-wave model that simulates storm surges and wind-waves.
