abstracts | This study presents wind wave fields' characteristics over the Baltic Sea obtained with the WAM model and their verification against observations. This is a part of the HIPOCAS research project funded by the European Union with an objective to obtain a 44-year hindcast of wind, wave, sea-level, and current climatology for European waters and coastal seas for application in coastal and environmental decision processes. A reasonable agreement between the modelled and observed both in-situ and satellite wave data was obtained. A high-resolution homogeneous wave data set generated with the hindcast system created within HIPOCAS provided a large number of possibilities to examine the long-term statistics and variability of the wind wave fields over the Baltic Sea. |
