Rusu, E. and Guedes Soares, C. (2009), “Numerical Modelling to Estimate the Spatial Distribution Of The Wave Energy in The Portuguese Nearshore”, Renewable Energy, Vol. 34, N.º 6, pp. 1501-1516

Some relevant patterns for the wave energy spatial distribution in the Portuguese nearshore are analyzed in this work. A medium term analysis of the wave climate in the target area was first carried out based on recent buoy measurements covering the 10-year period 1994–2003. A wave prediction system based on the two state-of-the-art spectral models, WAM and SWAN.
