Campos, R., Guedes Soares C., Alves, J-H. and Parente, C.E. (2016), “Impact of different wind fields and wave model parametrizations on extreme events of wave height in southern Brazil”, WISE Meeting 2016, 22-26 May, Venice, Italy

The main goal is to construct new surface wind fields combined with additional tests using the wave model WAVEWATCHIII to better simulate extreme events of significant wave height in Brazil – which is essential for the coastal and marine safety, offshore industry, structure design and ship routes. Besides, the simulation of 9 wave hindcasts (generated with 6 different wind fields) together with 6 long-term distributions are analyzed in terms of the impact on return values of significant wave height (........, the 100-year design wave, for example) Therefore, this study joins numerical wave model simulations with a long-term stochastic approach.
