Abstract
The aim of this study is to simulate wind waves at the northern coast of the Persian Gulf and estimate extreme wave characteristics based on the modeled wave data. Hence, the SWAN model was employed for wave hindcasting forced by the 6-hourly ECMWF wind data with a resolution of 0.5°. After hindcasting 11 year wave data, extreme value analysis was conducted based on the numerically simulated wave data. The results of extreme value analysis showed that the Weibull distribution is better fitted to the wave data in the studied area compared to other distributions. © 2010 by The International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE).
