| Zusammenfassung |
In the framework of RISKMED project, three different high-resolution limited
area meteorological models (BOLAM, MOLOCH and WRF) have been run over
southern Italy for the retrospective analysis of three case studies
characterized by strong winds and severe wave conditions in the Ionian,
southern Adriatic and southern Tyrrhenian seas. All the models were able to
reproduce the main meteorological features of each event.
The wind fields simulated by the meteorological models and those provided by
the ECMWF analysis have been ingested into a wave model (WAM) for the
hindcast of the main wave parameters. The results have been compared with
the observations of three buoys whose measurements were available in the
area of interest.
A remarkable improvement in the representation of the significant wave
height came out using the limited area model data with respect to the
simulations where the ECMWF analyses were used as forcing. Among the limited
area models, the BOLAM-MOLOCH modelling system provided slightly better
performances. From the limited set of simulations, the different model
predictions came out closer to each other and more skilful in areas where
the waves approach the coastline perpendicularly from the open sea. |
