Özet

The monitoring and study of the wave energy propagation along the coast presents a very difficult task, account of the significant daily variation of the sea states. In this study, we have developed a GIS for the analysis, processing and monitoring of the Wave energy propagation along the coast under these different form. The large number of results led us to carry out a spatial analysis using raster calculator tool, which allowed us to better present and interpreted the SWAN output (simulation wave near-shore model). In order to classify coastal zones with high-energy potential we carried out a spatial multicriteria analysis which allowed us to select three zones in the near-shore with an average wave power greater than 35kW/m on stormy days.
