Significant wave height, Jason-1, Wave spectraAbstract
Construction of wave spectra using significant wave height from Jason-1 satellite has been explored employing the JONSWAP preconceived spectra, to be used on data assimilation on a third generation wave model operated in the Oceanographic and Hydrographic Research Center-CIOH (Centro de Investigaciones Oceanográficas e Hidrográficas). Information from an operational data product, the Operational Sensor Data Record (OSDR) available within a 3-5 hour delay was employed, on which a correction to eliminate systematic bias and necessary quality control were applied to achieve a higher accuracy offered on the Interim Geophysical Data Record (IGDR), a more detailed data product available within a 2-3 day delay. Two directional wave buoys installed by Colombia's Maritime Authority were used to verify the wave spectra construction results, finding a great coincidente between the buoy and constructed spectra.Downloads
