On the use of computational models for wave climate assessment in support of the wave energy industry

Effective, economic extraction of ocean wave energy requires an intimate under- standing of the ocean wave environment. Unfortunately, wave data is typically un- available in the near-shore (<150m depth) areas where most wave energy conversion devices will be deployed. This thesis identities,...
