EasyGSH-DB: Characteristics of the seagoing (WAVS)

The characteristics of the Seawalk (WAVS) of EasyGSH-DB (creation of application-oriented synoptic reference data for geomorphology, sedimentology and hydrodynamics in the German Bay) are part of the referenceable, continuously processed basic data set for the German Bay. Under this metadata set, all products of the characteristics of the seagoing (WAVS) are listed and referenced. Product: — EasyGSH-DB_WAVS: Frequency distributions of the significant wave height, mean wave start direction and associated mean peak period (1996-2015) — EasyGSH-DB_WAVS: Medium seagoing energy (1996-2015) — EasyGSH-DB_WAVS: Mean significant wave height (1996-2015) — EasyGSH-DB_WAVS: Percentiles of Significant Wave Height (1996-2015) — EasyGSH-DB_WAVS: Energy-weighted mean wave start direction (1996-2015) — EasyGSH-DB_WAVS: Average peak period (1996-2015) — EasyGSH-DB_WAVS: Percentiles of the peak period (1996-2015) Data generation: The products were derived from simulation results of a spectral seagoing model of the 3. Generation (SWAN) is derived. A spectral seagoing model based on SWAN and assuming a spatially and temporally constant mean water level (NHN+ 0 m) and without considering currents was created. In areas where the seagoing is significantly influenced by the water-deep-dependent wave break, the analysis results were set to a uniform error value (99). The time simulation and output interval is one hour. The model expansion and discretisation (unstructured computational grid) correspond to the model parameters of the coupled hydrodynamic telemac tomawac model used in EasyGSH to validate product results as part of a multi-model approach.
