The spectral wave models are often calibrated or validated based on bulk wave data derived
from spectral information such as the significant wave height (H s) and mean period (T m) …

In this study, the performance of SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore) spectral wave model
ST6 physics forced by ERA5 reanalysis wind data were evaluated in predicting the wave …

This study presents the first spatial calibration of SWAN model physical parameters based
on satellite observations for the Black and Azov Seas. Currently, the wind-wave model …

The main target of this work is to evaluate the wave and wind power resources in the
western part of the Black Sea, paying special attention to the Romanian nearshore. The time …

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 is dedicated to the wind waves parameters distribution on the Black Sea with a
focus on coastal areas. Wind waves were simulated using the SWAN model forced by the …

A series of 40‐year significant wave height (SWH) data were extracted from the ERA‐Interim
data set of the European Center for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), for the …

The accuracy of estimated sea conditions, specifically wave height and peak/average wave
periods, affects the estimation of electrical energy production from wave energy converters …

A computationally inexpensive operational wave forecasting system taking wave‐current
interactions over the fast‐flowing Agulhas Current into account is explored. Spectral wave …

This paper presents the results of wind wave forecasts for the Black Sea. Three different
versions utilized were utilized: the WAVEWATCH III model with GFS 0.25 forcing on a …
