| Zusammenfassung |
| The basic features of the wave climate in the Southwestern Baltic Sea (such
as the average and typical wave conditions, frequency of occurrence of
different wave parameters, variations in wave heights from weekly to decadal
scales) are established based on waverider measurements at the Darss Sill in
1991–2010. The measured climate is compared with two numerical
simulations with the WAM wave model driven by downscaled reanalysis of wind
fields for 1958–2002 and by adjusted geostrophic winds for 1970–2007. The
wave climate in this region is typical for semi-enclosed basins of the
Baltic Sea. The maximum wave heights are about half of those in the Baltic
Proper. The maximum recorded significant wave height HS =4.46 m occurred
on 3 November 1995. The wave height exhibits no long-term trend but reveals
modest interannual (about 12 % of the long-term mean of 0.76 m) and
substantial seasonal variation. The wave periods are mostly concentrated in
a narrow range of 2.6–4 s. Their distribution is almost constant over
decades. The role of remote swell is very small. |
