This paper presents results from an investigation of global wave energy resources derived
from analysis of wave climate predictions generated by the WAVEWATCH-III (NWW3) wind …

An assessment of wave power resource for Portugal continental coast is presented, using
thirty three years (1979–2012) of wave hindcast. The hindcast system is based in two …

Wave energy has the potential to valuably contribute to the coastal states renewable energy

A wave resource characterization was performed for the southern coast of Alaska based on
a 32-year hindcast covering the period from 1979 to 2010. The characterization closely …

This study designs a wave energy classification scheme that comprehensively considers
energy, environmental risk and cost factors. Furthermore, by rationally adjusting, adding or …

This paper summarizes the calibration and validation of a 35-year wave hindcast database
used to create the Chilean Wave Atlas. The hindcast was generated with the Wavewatch III …
