Prediction of short-term wind and wave conditions for marine operations using a multi-step-ahead decomposition-ANFIS model and quantification of its uncertainty

Short-term predictions of wind and wave properties with a duration of 1–3 days are vital for decision-making during the execution of marine operations. One-step-ahead weather conditions can be accurately predicted via various methods. However, prediction over long horizons is challenging since multi-step-ahead prediction is typically faced with growing uncertainties. In this study, a hybrid method for predicting multi-step-ahead wind and wave …
