Abstract
We analyse and discuss the main processes that affect the characteristics o f wind waves while these move through the coastal zone, towards the shore. The focus is on the influence of each process on the final results and on t he overall accuracy. To this aim we make full use of two large data sets co llected at different; locations. Model and measured data, are repeatedly co mpared, providing evidence of the relevance of the different processes.
