Parameters

For dfs2-type input data following parameters are calculated at each grid point:

·         mean wave direction, MWD 

·         mean directional spreading, DSD

·         significant wave height, H_m0

·         mean wave period, T₀₂

·         spectral peak period, T_p

·         x-component of H_m0 (i.e. H_m0 cos(MWD))

·         y-component of H_m0 (i.e. H_m0 sin(MWD))

The calculation of mean wave direction and spreading complies with the sug­gestions and definitions given by Frigaard et al. (1997).

The definitions are:

·         Mean wave direction

(5.2)   

·         Mean directional spreading

(5.3)   

·         Significant wave height

(5.4)   

·         Mean wave period

(5.5)   

·         Spectral peak period

(5.6)   

where f_p is the frequency corresponding to the maximum spectral den­sity.
