Abstract

Formulate a numerical wave hindcast model which can be used to obtain realistic estimates of wave conditions in the Oosterschelde as input to a numerical geomorphological model. A directionally decoupled, parametric wave hindeast model is recommended that includes parameterized versions of conventional bottom- and current refraction, some degree of diffraction, and parameterized wave growth and -dissipation.
