Cecilia Gustafsson som tidigare i år presenterade sitt exjobb på Chalmers rörande vågförhållanden vid testsiten utanför Lysekil, kommer nu att hålla en ny presentation idag kl.13 i Hörsalen, Botanhuset – Carl Skottbergsgata 22 B. Presentationen kommer att vara i omkring 20 minuter med tid för frågor.
Presentationen går också att följa via Jabber, adress 910070@video.gu.se. (Det rekommenderas att man stänger av mikrofon/kamera för att inte höras/synas under presentationen).
Abstract
A detailed study of the wave climate offshore of Islandsberg, on the Swedish west coast, was carried out to describe the spatial and temporal distribution of wave characteristics. Wave data were established for 5 years (2005-2009) through numerical modelling using the MIKE21 Spectral Wave model (courtesy of DHI). The Islandsberg set-up of the model is shown to resolve key wave parameters well compared to observations. A higher maximum wave height was estimated during the storm Gudrun (January 2005) than the highest statistical 100 year wave estimated in an earlier study. The present study shows the importance of along time perspective when characterizing waves. It also supports a detailed spatial resolution when describing waves to e.g. evaluate sites for marine installations. The established local spectral wave parameters at Islandsberg can be further analyzed in future projects.
