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.
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 structure of the original time series and of the nal populations of wind and wave data used in this Atlas is described in detail below. In the time-series format, the original datasets are sequences of vectors of the form. z = z(point;time) = z(p;y;m;d;h);
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.
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.
9 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...
3 lis 2021 · This study presents a detailed analysis of changes in wind and wave climate in the Western Mediterranean Sea (WMed), based on 41 years of accurate wind and wave hindcasts. The purpose of this research is to assess the magnitude of recent changes in wave climate and to locate the coastal areas most affected by these changes.
