The Galician coast (NW Spain) is a region that strongly influenced by the presence of low pressure systems in mid-Atlantic Ocean and periodic passage storms give rise to severe sea states. Since its wave climate one most energetic Europe, objectives this paper were twofold. first objective was characterize extreme height events Galicia over wintertime two-year period (2015–2016) using reliable high-frequency radar parameters concert with predictions from regional (WAV) forecasting system...
High-frequency (HF) radars are efficient tools for measuring vast areas and gathering ocean parameters in real-time. However, the accuracy of their wave estimates is under analysis. This paper presents a new methodology analyzing validating data estimated by two CODAR SeaSonde located on Galician coast (NW Spain). Approximately one half years (January, 2014–April, 2015) were obtained ten range cells employing different sampling times used radar software. The resulting screened an updated...
A long-term multi-parameter skill assessment of a 5-MHz Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar (CODAR) SeaSonde High-Frequency radar (HFR) network deployed along the Galician Coast (NW Iberian Peninsula) was attempted for 2014–2016. To this aim, wave estimations from two HFR sites, obtained directly by CODAR proprietary software, were independently validated against hourly in situ observations moored buoys different periods. The accuracy significant height (Hs) revealed consistent...
Wave energy resource assessment is crucial for the development of marine renewable industry. High-frequency radars (HF radars) have been demonstrated to be a useful wave measuring tool. Therefore, in this work, we evaluated accuracy two CODAR Seasonde HF describing offshore areas west Galician coast, Spain (Vilán and Silleiro capes). The resulting characterization was used estimate electricity production converters. Results were validated against data from buoys numerical models (SIMAR,...
