Study on Wave Spectra in South Coastal Waters of Jiangsu
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: The paper examined the spectral characteristics of shallow water waves, which was based on the wave data collected along the south coast of Jiangsu. It proposes a tentative spectra model which can work better than Joint North Sea Wave Project (JONSWAP)spectra. Both of the value of tentative spectral parameters (α and γ) increase with significant wave height and spectral peak frequency. According to a regression analysis, empirical equations are achieved, which is related to the parameters with significant wave height and spectral peak frequency. The study shows that the measured wave spectra can be represented by tentative spectra, and the fitting results in high-frequency tail of tentative spectra are better than that of JONSWAP spectrum with modified parameters.
