Altimetry models
WOSS allows the user to create and simulate sea wave models. The altimetry framework supports time evolution.
Flat Model
The basic model is the Flat Altimetry model: it represents a flat sea surface.
Bretschneider Model
The Bretschneider Altimetry class implements the Bretschneider (ITTC two parameters) wave spectrum [1].
Its input parameters are:
- characteristic wave height [m] - H -
- wave period [s] - T -
Additional parameters are:
- range [m]
- range steps
- scenario depth [m]
The latter are automatically set by the WOSS framework.
Examples:
