| Abstract: | The paper addresses a field campaign and the corresponding wave storms off the Catalan Coast. It shows the potential of a coastal pier to measure a "wave transect" from deep to shallow water up to the breaker zone. The proposed modeling sequence and nesting strategy have also provided their capabilities to predict spectral bulk parameters with reasonable accuracy and at a very low computational cost. The numerically obtained wave results show an error level equal or smaller than other computations from the NW Mediterranean. | |
