Multi-decadal assessment of wave power and variability from satellite altimetry observations in Ireland

Thirty years of observations from a calibrated multi-mission satellite altimetry dataset are employed to assess the Irish wave power density (energy flux) as well as its long-term variability. The significant wave height and the back-scatter coefficient measured by the altimeters...

WAPOSAL: a multi-regional wave dataset from satellite altimetry for significant wave height, period estimation, and wave power density

Abstract. Accurate assessment of wave power density (WPD) is essential for marine renewable energy development and for validating numerical wave models, particularly in coastal and nearshore regions where in situ observations are sparse. This study presents a high-resolution, mul...
