U.S. Navy Hindcast Spectral Ocean Wave Model Climatic Atlas: Mediterranean Sea

Abstract

This atlas contains climatological summaries for seven parameters based on modeled data. Included are wind speed and direction, significant wave height, wave direction, wave slope parameter, modal wave period, and directionality of the waves. The last three parameters have not appeared in previous U.S. Navy climatological atlases, because they cannot be directly derived from visual observations. This atlas provides the design, scientific and operational communities with a detailed representation of the overall wave climate of the Mediterranean Sea.
