1. 1. Evaluation of Global Wave Climate Based on the JMA/MRI-AGCM Climate Change Projection

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Johanna Ekstedt; [2014]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In this study global wave climates for present and future climates are simulated with the WAM model, based on wind fields from the JMA/MRI-AGCM3.2 climate projection. The projected wave fields are analysed and compared for the two periods of 1979-2003 and 2075-2099, and climate change induced differences are identified. READ MORE

3. 2. Hindcast of the wave climate in Öresund : modelling of wave climate over 50 years using WAM with wind measurements input

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Laury Renac; Sara Schömer Ericsson; [2014]
   Keywords : Wave climate modelling; WAM; Öresund; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Öresund is a very dynamic economic area with numerous projects, there is a great need of a deeper understanding of the wave climate. The wave measurements currently available are scarce and they do not cover the whole area. READ MORE

4. 3. Validation of the WAM-model over the Baltic Sea

   University essay from Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Caroline Berg; [2008]
   Keywords : WAM-model; waves; ERA40; RCA; hindcast; Meteorology; WAMDI; spectral energy balance equation; bias; rms; buoy; ; Sinificant wave height; direction; peak period; Baltic Sea;

   Abstract : In order to understand how waves influence the exchange of momentum, latent heat and other parameters, between the ocean surface and the atmosphere, one can use models. A coupling between a wave model and an atmospheric regional climate model, for the Baltic Sea, will be performed at the Meteorology Institute in Uppsala University. READ MORE
