Digital wave atlas
Wind and wave are important parameters for inland shipping,
pleasure crafts and yachts on large lakes like the IJsselmeer in
the Netherlands.
Alkyon Hydraulic Consultancy &
Research combined their specialist knowledge and
wave models for the development of a Digital Wave Atlas. This Wave Atlas
can be integrated with the WinGPS navigation software of Stentec
Software.
The Wave Atlas is characterised by:
- Recent bathometric survey data provided by
Rijkswaterstaat Directie IJsselmeergebied;
- 672 computations with the SWAN-wave
model;
- 8 Wind directions;
- 6 Wind forces (Bft 4-9);
- Overall results (IJsselmeer and Markermeer) on 200 m
grid;
- 12 detail areas (IJmeer, Gouwzee, Enkhuizen, Lelystad,
Val van Urk, Lemmer, Stavoren, etc.) on 40 m grid;
- Presentation of wave height, wave direction, wave length, wave
steepness, wave
breaking index;
The atlas can be used to evaluate ship-routes from Amsterdam
to Friesland (wind: 9 Bft from north-west) using the following
wave maps:
- Markermeer: wave height and direction and wave breaking
- Detail IJmeer: wave height and direction and wave
breaking
- Detail Lelystad-South: wave height and direction and
wave breaking
- Northern IJsselmeer: wave height and direction and wave
breaking
- Detail Lelystad-North: wave height and direction and
wave breaking
- Detail Val van Urk: wave height and direction and
wave breaking
- Detail near Lemmer: wave height and direction and
wave breaking
The demo
version of the Wave Atlas shows results for one wind direction and one wind
force.
The Wave Atlas is available on CD-Rom ( 19,90 Euro incl VAT) and can be explored
with the same browser you visit this internet page. The CD contains a manual and
a user-friendly user interface for making a selection from the more than 2600
available wave maps.
