Utilization of Wavewatch III Model Output Data for High Wave Analysis
This study discusses the occurrence of extreme waves in North Sulawesi waters from 17 to 24 June 2016 using Wavewatch III (WW3) model output data with resolution 0.125o x 0.125o extracted from MIDAS-BMKG. The extracted WW3 data is mapped using ArcMap and

Brazilian offshore wave climate based on NWW3 reanalysis
This paper provides a description of the wave climate off the Brazilian coast based on an eleven-year time series (Jan/1997-Dec/2007) obtained from the NWW3 operational model hindcast reanalysis. Information about wave climate in Brazilian waters is very

Numerical Analysis of Wave Characteristic In the Freak Wave-- “New Year Wave” Formation [PDF]
Freak waves are both extremely large waves and highly transient time. Such a wave may lead to damage of ships to deaths. In this paper, to describe the connection between freak wave and wave essential factor, we use WAVEWATCH III model simulating “New ...

FIELD AND NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE WIND-WAVE REGIME ON THE GORKY RESERVOIR
The paper describes the study of wind-wave regime at the Gorky reservoir. A series of field experiments (carried out from May to October in 2012–2015) showed that the values of the drag coefficient CD for a middle-sized reservoir in the range of moderate

Unstructured global to coastal wave modeling for the Energy Exascale Earth System Model using WAVEWATCH III version 6.07 [PDF]
Wind-wave processes have generally been excluded from coupled Earth system models due to the high computational expense of spectral wave models, which resolve a frequency and direction spectrum of waves across space and time.
