Funded Activity Summary

Forecasting wave breaking in directional seas. Wave breaking in Australia's coastal and open ocean regions has significant consequences for weather forecasting, marine safety, defence and renewable energy, yet no conceptual or computing framework exists for this fundamental process. This innovative project extends our recent advances in predicting wave breaking onset and strength of unidirectional wave groups to forecast breaking in realistic directional wind seas. The results of this project will provide the scientific basis needed to include reliable breaking wave information in forecast models, and will improve their accuracy. It will also increase the international competitiveness of Australian commerce reliant on accurate marine environmental forecasts.
