Wave energy resource assessment with AltiKa satellite altimetry: A case study at a wave energy site
2015
Geophysical Research Letters
A simple model to estimate wave power at a coastal site from satellite radar altimetry is proposed. We used data from the AltiKa altimeter on board the SARAL satellite because of its superior performance near the coast. The deep water approximation was applied to our 60 m deep site along with a simple empirical model to estimate wave period, T, from altimeter significant wave height, H s , and backscattering coefficient, σ 0 . A known relation between zero-crossing period, T z , and wave energy
