Abstract
:
The wind fields predicted by three atmospheric models with different resolutions (GFSanl-4, GFSanl-3 and NOGAPS) were used, one at a time, to force SWAN model to simulate the wave conditions in the Red Sea for two months. Wind speed and wave parameters measurements obtained through a met/ocean buoy located at the eastern Red Sea and along 36 tracks of ENVISAT over the Red Sea were compared with models-predicted wind speeds and SWAN-obtained wave parameters. In additions, the predicted wind speeds where compared with wind speed measurements made at 7 coastal weather stations along both sides of the Red Sea. Among the three different atmospheric models, GFSanl-4 showed the best agreements, in terms of wind speed, with observations made by weather stations, met/ocean buoy and satellite. In terms of wave parameters, similar agreements were found between the results obtained through forcing SWAN model by GFSanl-4 and the wave observations made by met/ocean buoy and satellite. Such good agreements indicate that GFSanl-4 can possibly be used to force SWAN model in an operational wave prediction system for the Red Sea.
