Abstract

A high resolution partitioned wave hindcast of New Zealand waters is presented together with validation results against 9 buoy deployments that are representative of the local wave climate. An analysis of integrated and partitioned mean wave parameters was conducted together with a study of the correlation between wave height anomalies and atmospheric indices. A directional spatial analysis was also performed to identify and quantify wave systems that are not detectable by in situ buoys or hindcast integrated parameters. The presented study outlines a framework of how partitions can be analyzed in order to improve our understanding of the local wave climate in terms of wind-sea and swell waves.
