Wave energy potential offshore Apulian coasts (Italy)

The paper shows a preliminary analysis of the estimation of available wave energy around Apulian coasts. Recently, a wave Atlas of Italian seas has been published, displaying the yearly mean wave power, based on three-hourly wave data set collected by the Italian Wave Network. For the Apulia Region,...

Description
Summary:The paper shows a preliminary analysis of the estimation of available wave energy around Apulian coasts. Recently, a wave Atlas of Italian seas has been published, displaying the yearly mean wave power, based on three-hourly wave data set collected by the Italian Wave Network. For the Apulia Region, the buoy belonging to the IWN is placed offshore Monopoli (Bari). In the present study both yearly and monthly mean wave power offshore Apulian coasts are estimated with the analysis of wave data recorded by other two wave buoys placed offshore Tremiti Islands and Taranto. Moreover the comparison between buoys recordings and other two wave data sets provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the MeteOcean group of University of Genoa (Italy) is reported.
