WAVEMOD  

Definition

  • Methodology for coastal site investigation. TOPEX/POSEIDON shallow water altimeter study for Portuguese waters. The objective of the WAVEMOD project is to develop a probabilistic methodology for coastal site investigations. The methodology allows integration of complex or irregular phenomena through a combination of physical insight and statistical analysis of actual observations. A probabilistic approach to derive the design conditions for coastal engineering problems, developments of stocastic models of waves and current parameters and integration of existing data with new measurements and mathematical models are the main topics of the project. Wave directional meeasurements were carried out off the coast of Portugal and Creta during 1993 to 1994. (en)
