Nearshore Wave Climatology at Kings Bay, Georgia and Cape Canaveral, Florida

Abstract

This report is a source document for specifying wind and wave conditions for the Kings Bay, Georgia and Cape Canaveral, Florida areas. The deep water data are derived form the U.S. Navy's Spectral Ocean Wave Model (SOWM) hindcast and wave climatology. A Shallow Water Wave Model (SWWM) based on local topography and other physical parameters has been developed to create a shallow water wave climate for ship performance assessments. Several shallow water wave measuring systems, deployed and maintained by the University of Florida, are providing full-scale field data for comparison with SWWM data.
