Wave Climate at Shallow Waters along the Abu Dhabi Coast

Abstract: High-resolution, reliable global atmospheric and oceanic numerical models can represent a key factor in designing a coastal intervention. At the present, two main centers have the capabilities to produce them: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the U.S.A. and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The NOAA and ECMWF wave models are developed, in particular, for different water regions: deep, intermediate, and shallow water regions using different types of spa… Show more

“…Values of Bias and RMSE confirm that SPM'84 agrees fairly well with the satellite observations, while the other three models (ECMWF, CMEMS and START) underestimate the satellite observations. The SPM '84 best performance could be explained by the fact that the SPM'84 is based on exact equations and exact input terms, such as fetches, water depths, wind characteristics, and therefore, it is not influenced by the resolution of the computational grid or the bathymetric information (Hamza et al, 2018).…”

“…A review of the state of the art atmospheric and oceanographic models based on wave modelling at a shallow water site, at Al Saadiyat island along Abu Dhabi coast (Hamza, et al, 2018) can provide future insight into the hydrodynamic of the Arabian Gulf. The Gulf experiences cyclonic overturning establishes in spring and summer but disintegrates into meso-scale eddies in the autumn and winter months (Hamza, et al, 2018). The circulation also coincides with the establishment of thermal stratification and baroclinic exchange through the Strait of Hurmuz.…”

“…Hamza et al [9] investigated the wave climate offshore Saadiyat island situated in the Gulf within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. They compared the measured ADCP data and propagation results of the NOAA offshore wave dataset by means of the Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) numerical model, the NOAA and ECMWF wave datasets at the closest grid point in shallow water conditions, and the SPM '84 hindcasting method with the NOAA wind dataset used as input have been carried out.…”
