Wave simulation in the outer Río de la Plata estuary: Evaluation of SWAN model
This work discusses the implementation and validation of the SWAN model forced by NCEP/NCAR reanalyzed 10 m winds in the outer Río de la Plata (RDP) and adjacent continental shelf that will be used to study the wave climate in the region. Thirteen-month-long in situ data series of wave parameters ar...
