摘要
Numerical modeling of sea states has been developed for years,and used for varied fields such as coastal work sizing,navigation safety,beaches and water leisure stability study.The third-generation ocean wind-wave spectral model WAVEWATCH III(WW3)software was adopted and developed to simulate wave propagation in the Mediterranean basin.In this work,a more detailed study was carried out on the port of Algiers.Two different atmospheric models have been used to get the wind forcing:ALADIN(Area Limited Dynamic Adaptation Inter National Development)with an 8 km resolution.And AROME(Application to Operational Research at Meso-scale)with a 3 km resolution.The results obtained using both of the atmospheric models have been compared and analyzed.
