In situ coastal observations of wave homogeneity and coherence

A better understanding of wave homogeneity, i.e. the spatial variations of the wave characteristics, and wave coherence in coastal areas and fjords is essential for the design and analysis of sea-crossing infrastructures, such as floating bridge concepts. The wave conditions in fjords that are exposed to the open sea are complex and often characterized by a mixed swell–wind sea state. This study investigates the spatial coherence and …
