PARAMETRIC STUDY OF ENVIRONMENTAL LOADS FROM HINDCAST AND MEASURED METOCEAN DATA FOR MALAYSIAN WATERS
Offshore engineers have been developing hindcast system to estimate offshore meteorology and oceanography (metocean) conditions. The hindcast data is used to estimate the design parameters by offshore engineers in the absence of measured metoccean data. This estimate leads to lack of optimized de...

| Summary: | Offshore engineers have been developing hindcast system to estimate offshore
meteorology and oceanography (metocean) conditions. The hindcast data is used to
estimate the design parameters by offshore engineers in the absence of measured
metoccean data. This estimate leads to lack of optimized design since the hindcast
data is predicted over 6 km x 6 km grid over a long period of time. In this research
presented herein, the availability of measured metocean data is used to validate and
calibrate hindcast data by determining the statistical properties and time series of wind
and wave and incorporating correction factors to the three (3) regions under study. |
