Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
It is assumed that dangerous and unexpected sea-states may occur if the sea conditions are fairly rough. It is therefore of concern to meteo centers to include sea-state related parameters in marine weather forecast when they exceed a certain threshold. To select appropriate parameters that can point at dangerous wave events, the sea-state at the time and location of shipping accidents reported as being due to bad weather by the Lloyd's Marine Information Service (LMIS) were extracted from the ECMWF ERA-40 archive. The analysis of these wave parameters reveals the occurrence of apparently rather low sea-states (e.g. Hm0 < 4 m). To test the findings against the related oceanographic features, wave climatology was computed. The present study aims at finding a possible correlation between wave climate and shyipping incidents to identify warning criteria. |
