| Abstract: | An ocean wind-wave prediction model MRI-II is developed on the basis of the energy balance equation which contains five energy
transfer processes, namely, the input by the wind, the nonlinear transfer among the components of windsea by resonant wave-wave
interactions, wave breaking, frictional dissipation and the effect of opposing winds.
The nonlinear energy transfer is expressed implicitly together with the wind effect by Toba's one-parameter representation
of windsea, but neither swell-swell nor swell-windsea resonant interactions are considered.
Hypothetical assumptions are introduced to describe wave breaking effects. The numerical constant required in the assumptions
of wave breaking is determined through trial test runs for a hindcast performed on the North-western Pacific Ocean.
The significant wave height, one-dimensional wave spectrum and two-dimensional wave spectrum hindcasted by this new model
are in more reasonable agreement with observations than those obtained with our old model MRI. |
