Determining the Nearshore Wave Climate between Galinhos and Guamaré – Brazil
This paper applies two numerical models, REFDIF and SWAN, to characterize the wave climate near the coastal stretch between Galinhos and Guamaré, Brazil. This region is exposed both to incoming swell from North Atlantic Ocean and to local seas generated by steady SE Trade Winds, tidal currents are s...
