Data Enhanced Modeling of Sea and Swell on the Continental Shelf

Abstract

A methodology has been developed to assimilate measurements of wave energy, as a function of wave frequency, into wind-wave prediction models. The utility of the method has been demonstrated using data from buoys in the Pacific Ocean and the Southern California Bight. The assimilation scheme has been transitioned to NRL-Stennis for additional validation and development into an operational product.
