How do simple wave models perform compared with sophisticated models and measurements in the Gulf of Finland? [PDF]

Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences
Wave parameters form the base for the design of coastal structures. For this purpose, commonly modelled wave properties are employed. This approach is usually adequate in open ocean conditions where spatial variations in wave properties are normally ...
