Observed finite depth wave growth limit in the Wadden Sea

The spectral wind wave model SWAN (Booij et al. 1999) plays a key role in the estimation of the Hydraulic Boundary Conditions (HBC) for the primary sea defences of the Netherlands. Since some uncertainty remains with respect to the reliability of the wind wave model SWAN for application to the geographically complex area of the Wadden Sea, a...

Nonstationary SWAN simulation in the Wadden Sea

The spectral wind wave model SWAN plays a key role in the estimation of the Hydraulic Boundary Conditions (HBC) for the primary sea defences of the Netherlands. Since some uncertainty remains with respect to the reliability of SWAN for application to the geographically complex area of the Wadden Sea, a number of activities have been initiated...
