Abstract. The properties of wave-driven sediment transport and the dimensions single sedimentary compartments are often radically different in parts semi-enclosed waterbodies with an anisotropic wind climate. western, southern eastern shores Gulf Riga a remote part more than 700 km long interconnected coastal system Baltic Sea from Samland Kaliningrad District, Russia, to Pärnu Bay, Estonia. Even though gulf generally straight or gently curved, presence small headlands variations orientation...
Basic properties of wind wave climate in the Gulf Riga, Baltic Sea, are evaluated based on modelled fields, instrumentally measured and historical visually observed properties. Third-generation spectral model SWAN is applied to entire Sea for 1990–2021 with a spatial resolution 3 nautical miles (nmi, about 5.5 km) forced by field ERA5, Riga its entrance area 1 nmi (about 1.85 km), nearshore areas this gulf 0.32 600 m). The calculations performed an idealised ice-free climate. Wave...
