Adjoint-Free Variational Data Assimilation into a Regional Wave Model
A variational data assimilation algorithm is developed for the ocean wave prediction model [Wave Model (WAM)]. The algorithm employs the adjoint-free technique and was tested in a series of data assimilation experiments with synthetic observations in the Chukchi Sea region from various platforms. The types of considered observations are directional spectra estimated from point measurements by s...

ALVAREZ-ELLACURIA, A.; ORFILA, A.; OLABARRIETA, M.; MEDINA, R.; VIZOSO, G., and TINTORÉ, J., 2010. A nearshore wave and current operational forecasting system. Journal of Coastal Research, 26(3), 503–509. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. An operational forecasting system for nearshore waves and wave-induced currents is presented. The forecasting system (FS) has been built to provide r...
متن کاملAn unsteady wave driver for narrowbanded waves: modeling nearshore circulation driven by wave groups
In this paper, we derive an unsteady refraction–diffraction model for narrowbanded water waves for use in computing coupled wave–current motion in the nearshore. The end result is a variable coefficient, nonlinear Schrödinger-type wave driver (describing the envelope of narrow-banded incident waves) coupled to forced nonlinear shallow water equations (describing steady or unsteady mean flows dr...
متن کاملNearshore Wave Modeling with High-Order Boussinesq-Type Equations
The accuracy of using high-order Boussinesq-type models as compared to the typical order models is examined in this paper. The high-order model used is the two-layer model of Lynett and Liu in 2004, which captures both linear and nonlinear wave evolution up to kh 6. The physical situations examined all involve nearshore breaking, and an eddy-viscosity type breaking model is adopted for the two-...
متن کاملNearshore Wave-topography Interactions
The principal focus of this program has been on understanding the nearshore problem from a top down point of view. At time scales longer than storm periods and length scales larger than 100 meters, the behavior of the nearshore appears surprisingly complex, with subtantial interannual variability and variability on all scales. We believe that this results from feedback between the fluid and bat...
