Rusu, E., Rusu, L. and Guedes Soares, C. (2006), “Prediction of Extreme Wave Conditions in the Black Sea with Numerical Models", Proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Wave Hindcasting and Forecasting (9WW), 24-29 September, Victoria, B.C., Canada
The Black Sea wave climate was the subject of various studies and research projects. In the last years this region becomes an important corridor for energy transportation. These new economical developments are leading to increased sea traffic and request the possibility of better prediction systems for the wave conditions especially concerning the nearshore areas in the neighborhood of the major ports. Although in a closed sea the fetch is smaller than in open-ocean and the average wave conditions are considerably less energetic than for example on the Iberian coasts of the Atlantic Ocean, strong storms can generate sometimes in the Black Sea waves comparable in terms of wave heights with the big ocean waves. Freak waves have been also reported (Divinsky et al. 2004).
