Abstract

Waves generated by tropical cyclones (TCs) can cause damage to offshore structures and coastal settlements and play an important role in the design criteria for engineering projects, risk assessments and insurance purposes. Developing a rapid and simple way to estimate the wave heights associated with TCs has both a social and an economical advantage. The present study aims to develop a parametric TC wave prediction model, based on data generated by numerous simulations with a validated version of the WAVEWATCH III (WW3) spectral wave model (WW3DG, 2019).
