Sebastião, P., Guedes Soares, C. and Booij, N. (2000), “Wave Hindcasting off the Coast of Portugal", Coastal Engineering, Vol. 40, Issue 4, pp. 411-425

A study was conducted applying a second-generation wave model to predictions in coastal zones. The model was calibrated with wave measurements conducted off the Portuguese Coast, for a period of six months. The wind fields used in the calculation were supplied by the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast. The calibrated model allows good predictions of significant wave height. Satisfactory comparisons have been made with predictions of the WAM model.
