“…Some of the deviations for modeled low sea states associated with high sea states sampled by the radars could therefore be explained by looking at their positions along the coastline, with respect to S-SW incoming waves. The problems related to complex morphological features of the GoN were underlined also by Inghilesi et al (2016), using both WAM and SWAN models. The results also indirectly show coherent values for the wave features modeled by WWIII and SWAN, even if the simulations were produced with different approaches (i.e., time-spatial regression for the regional analysis, physical wave propagation for the local analysis).…”

HF radar systems wave measurements are evaluated against numerical simulations in the Gulf of Naples (Southeastern Tyrrhenian Sea). Wave measurements are obtained from three CODAR SeaSonde HF radars installed along the coast of the Gulf of Naples. The numerical models employed are WavewatchIII, implemented on a regional scale with a resolution of about 10 km in longitude and latitude in the whole Mediterranean Sea, and SWAN, implemented with a 200 m resolution in the area of interest. Numerical simulations are also validated against experimental data acquired by a buoy installed offshore the Gulf of Naples. The agreement between HF radar measurements and model hindcasts is evaluated through the estimate of statistical error indices for the main wave characteristics (significant wave height, mean period, and mean direction). The consistency between wave parameters retrieved by HF radars and hindcasted by the models opens the way to future integration of the two systems as well as to the utilization of HF radar wave parameters that could be envisaged for data assimilation in wave models.

“…Wave climatology has been traditionally based on moored buoys, returning accurate but spatially limited measurements [6,7]. More recently, the availability of long-term satellite altimetry data and the implementation of third-generation wave models have paved the way to wave climate studies from global [8] to regional scales [9], allowing for the recreation of the wave field not directly covered by in situ buoys. Satellite altimetry data allow for the estimation of wave climate statistics with a resolution of 1 • to 2 • , depending on the satellite spatial and time coverage [10,11].…”

Surface gravity waves retrieved by a network of HF (High Frequency) radars and measured in situ by an ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) current meter connected to an elastic beacon were used to carry out a multiple-year characterization of the wave field of the Gulf of Naples (south-eastern Tyrrhenian Sea, western Mediterranean). The aim of the work was to create a climatology of the study area and to demonstrate the potential of an integrated platform for coastal studies. The patterns recorded by the different instruments were in agreement with the wave climatology of the southern Tyrrhenian Sea as well as with previous scores for the same area. The results presented in this work also highlight seasonal and interannual consistency in the wave patterns for each site. In a wider context, this study demonstrates the potential of HF radars as long-term monitoring tools of the wave field in coastal basins, and supports the development of integrated observatories to address large-scale scientific challenges such as coastal ocean dynamics and the impact of global change on the local dynamics.
