• The Impact of a Reduced High-Wind Charnock Parameter on Wave Growth With Application to the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the Arctic Ocean 

      Breivik, Øyvind; Carrasco, Ana; Haakenstad, Hilde; Aarnes, Ole Johan; Behrens, Arno; Bidlot, Jean-Raymond; Björkqvist, Jan-Victor; Bohlinger, Patrik; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Staneva, Joanna; Reistad, Magnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      As atmospheric models move to higher resolution and resolve smaller scales, the maximum modeled wind speed also tends to increase. Wave models tuned to coarser wind fields tend to overestimate the wave growth under strong ...
    • The impact of surface currents on the wave climate in narrow fjords 

      Christakos, Konstantinos; Björkqvist, Jan-Victor; Breivik, Øyvind; Tuomi, Laura; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Albretsen, Jon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      This study investigates the effect of surface currents on wind-generated waves in a complex coastal system with narrow fjords. The simulations are based on a phase-averaged wave model forced with surface currents from a ...
    • In situ coastal observations of wave homogeneity and coherence 

      Christakos, Konstantinos; Gao, Zhen; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Björkqvist, Jan-Victor; Aarnes, Ole Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      A better understanding of wave homogeneity, i.e. the spatial variations of the wave characteristics, and wave coherence in coastal areas and fjords is essential for the design and analysis of sea-crossing infrastructures, ...
    • Modelling wave growth in narrow fetch geometries: The white-capping and wind input formulations 

      Christakos, Konstantinos; Björkqvist, Jan-Victor; Tuomi, Laura; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Breivik, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      This paper investigates the performance of three different wave model source term packages in narrow fetch geometries. The packages are used to model the sea state in a complex coastal system with narrow fjords on the west ...
