EVALUATION OF WAVE MODEL IN THE BARENTS SEA UNDER WINTER CYCLONE CONDITIONS
Abstract
A winter cyclone that crossed the Barents Sea on 10–15 February, 2015, was studied. The wind speed was 30 m/s and wave heights reached 12 m (satellite measurements). The wind waves modeling during the cyclone was made using the SWAN model and NCEP/CFSR wind data. Wind speed values from reanalysis are validated by comparing with AMSR2 microwave radiometer wind data. The wave data from the AltiKa altimeter were used for wave model validation. In general wave heights are well modeled with the RMSE=1 m and the correlation = 0.9. The reanalysis wind speed is underestimated by 0,63 m/s on the average.
