Abstract
The main aim of the work if to define and characterized the wave filed in the intermediate water depth of the mediterranean Sea, in particular in the Sicily channel. Even if is not the appropriate wave spectrum, the jONSWAP spectrum is often used in the Mediterranean Sea as input for the most common third-generation spectral wave models, e.g. SWAN (Booij et al. 1996). The definition of site-specific spectral parameters by means of measured wave data allows to get a better assessment of the wave field in the coastal area with consequent better description of the wave characteristics to be used to design coastal structures.References
