Impact of tidal currents and model fidelity on wave energy resource assessments

Abstract: Numerous studies have identified wave energy as a valuable renewable energy option in the international effort to decarbonize energy systems. For North America's Pacific Northwest region, most of previous efforts to characterize the wave climate had limited nearshore spatial resolution, were driven by simplistic wave boundary conditions, and/or did not include the effect of wave-current interactions.
