Description 905-920
In the present study, the performances of four
parametric models in the wave hindcast were evaluated by comparing with wave
measurements at two locations on the Black Sea.
Wilson, SPM, JONSWAP, and CEM methods were used to hindcast significant wave
height (Hs) and mean wave period (Tz). Wind
data required to perform wind-wave hindcasts is gathered by the Turkish State
Meteorological Service (TSMS) and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather
Forecast (ECMWF). Wave data set measured at deep water location for Hopa and
Sinop buoy stations within the NATO TU-WAVES project was used to validate
wind-wave hindcasts. A set of new formulations for wind-wave hindcast was
proposed for the Black Sea. Sensitivity
analyses were performed for both parametric methods and newly proposed
equations. Finally, it is concluded that the CEM method compared to other
methods generally produces more accurate results for the hindcasts of wave
parameters in both stations. It is observed that parametric methods do not have
the sufficiently accurate results in the Black Sea.
Proposed formulations cannot produce results at desired level to represent all
southern coasts of the Black Sea in comparison
to existing parametric methods.
