| Abstract: | Some physical processes, typical of coastal zones, modify the wave field, in a complex manner, depending on local conditions. This work focuses on the how the calculated value of significant wave height depends on the wave models for intermediate and shallow water, by comparing the predictions of two different models. Also studied is the sensitivity of the results to changes in bathymetry data when a very fine grid model is adopted in an implementation of a third generation wave model. | |
