Seasonal Sea Wave Energy at al-Manara station in Tartous

摘要

This paper shows that the variations of the total and significant seasonal sea wave energy at al-Manara station in Tartous where we used the wind speed data from the General Metrological Administration located in Damascus for duration of 6 years from the beginning of 1998 until 2003. The measurements were taken each one hour. After the calculation of the total seasonal sea wave energy we noticed that the energy has the values between (811- 1608 ) J/m~2 in al-Manara area ,while the seasonal significant sea wave energy values ranged between (2424-3830 )J/m~2 . The maximum sea energy was found in winter season.
