A 40-year High-resolution Wind and Wave Hindcast for the Southern North Sea
نویسندگان
چکیده
The planing of sustainable development and of economic activities in the marine environment requires long term information about the prevailing environmental conditions. For the design of marine and coastal protection structures detailed knowledge on local wave conditions is an essential prerequisite. To estimate the risk which emerges from local wave conditions knowledge on both, the wave climatology and the extreme events is necessary.

The goal of this study was to provide quality assurance for QuikSCAT wind speed and direction in Iranian adjacent seas including the Caspian Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Synoptic station wind data and numerical atmospheric models in the study area were compared with QuikSCAT wind field. Time difference and spatial separation between the QuikSCAT and synoptic observations were lim...
