Third Chinese-German Joint Symposium on Coastal and Ocean Engineering

Within the German BMBF project (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) MOSES (Modelling of mid-term wave climate within the German North Sea coastal area) two small-scale shallow-water wave models, k-Model and SWAN, are applied around the Norderney Inlet, a coastal area with inhomogeneous topography and strong tidal influence. The models are driven by hindcast results from the European project HIPOCAS (Hindcast of Dynamic Process of the Ocean and Coastal Areas of Europe). This project provides 40 years wind, water level, current, and wave spectral data. Buoy data from four different locations are used for validation of k-Model and SWAN results. The used data span a complete 3-months period, September unti
