SWAN wave model simulations for Hornsund, Svalbard, 07.2015-06.2023

The dataset contains SWAN results from three stations: Gåshamna (GAS; 76.9506°N, 15.7710°E, 22 m depth), Veslebogen (VES; 76.9951°N 15.4881°E, 16 m depth) and Hansbukta (HBK; 77.0031°N, 15.6298°E, 22 m depth).

For each station, 1D wave energy spectra and integral wave parameters are available, hourly from 01.07.2015 to 30.06.2023. There is one *.mat file for each station. The contents of these files is described in the text file info.txt.

  • Project title: Wave energy delivery to the shores of Hornsund fjord, Svalbard Project ID: UMO-2021/40/C/ST10/00146 Project description: This study focuses on modelling wave energy delivery to the shores of Hornsund, a ~300 km2 fjord of SW Spitsbergen, Svalbard, through 1) a fjord-scale modelling of wind wave transformation that incorporates the role of sea ice in wave attenuation, and 2) a beach-scale empirical modelling of water level maxima. The overall goal is to understand how changing climate, namely sea ice decline and increasing storminess, impacts Arctic shores, and to predict shoreline water levels at present and in future Project homepage: https://projekty.ncn.gov.pl/en/index.php?projekt_id=509796 Project financing institution: National Science Centre, Poland
