Analysis of the Variability of Wave Energy Due to Climate Changes on the Example of the Black Sea
An analysis of the variability of wave climate and energy within the Black Sea for the period 1960–2011 was made using field data from the Voluntary Observing Ship Program. Methods using wavelet analysis were applied. It was determined that the power flux of wave energy in the Black Sea fluctuates:...
