Abstract

In wave forecasting in the Caribbean, two ways to improve enhancing of model accuracy are possible: improvement of the numerical scheme of transport of the wave spectrum, and an appropriate assimilation of the data obtained from the satellite platforms. The former minimizes the wind wave propagation error along the fetch and increases the swell estimate accuracy. Several numerical schemes are analyzed, such as Lax-Vendroff, FCT, TVD, “upward” of the first order of approximation and a non-central scheme of the third order. Despite the fact that the type TVD positive schemes, keep the initial form of perturbations best, the greater accuracy in the integral spectrum conservation was found by using the scheme of the third order. After the implementation of that algorithm, a non-traditional methodology is proposed to assimilate data from the JASON-1 orbits. The methodology is based on the small perturbations theory for a functional which minimizes the model mean square error, correcting some constants responsible for physical processes description of generation, dissipation and non-linear spectral transformation.
