RISComparison Study of a Second-Generation and of a Third-Generation Wave Prediction Model in the Context of the SEMAPHORE Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical wave prediction models presently used in the meteorological institutes are still of two types: the so-called second-generation and third-generation models. In this paper, the authors present a comparison of the ...
Assimilation of Directional Wave Spectra in the Wave Model WAM: An Impact Study from Synthetic Observations in Preparation for the SWIMSAT Satellite Mission
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Within the framework of the Surface Waves Investigation and Monitoring from Satellite mission (SWIMSAT) proposed to the European Space Agency, an assimilation scheme has been implemented in the Wave Model (WAM) in order ...
Semiempirical Dissipation Source Functions for Ocean Waves. Part I: Definition, Calibration, and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New parameterizations for the spectral dissipation of wind-generated waves are proposed. The rates of dissipation have no predetermined spectral shapes and are functions of the wave spectrum and wind speed and direction, ...
