EUROWAVES Integration of data from many sources in a user-friendly software package for calculation of wave statistics in European coastal waters

In the absence of long term wave data collected at a coastal site of interest, the calculation of wave statistics at a coastal site requires various data sets to be assembled, including temporally and spatially long term representative directional wave data offshore of the site, as well as bathymetric and coastline data. Further, a suitable wave model is required, which is capable of modelling the transfer of the offshore conditions to the site, incorporating the relevant shallow water wave phenomena. EUROWAVES simplifies the modelling of wave conditions in coastal waters by integrating the following under a single software package for all European waters:
