Fig. 6: Global coastal attenuation.
From: Global coastal attenuation of wind-waves observed with radar altimetry
Density plots of the ratios between wave parameters computed in the coastal zone over the globe and the corresponding parameter computed offshore. The parameters considered are the mean Significant Wave Height (SWH) (a), the amplitude of the annual cycle (b), and the average wave energy flux (c). A second-degree polynomial is fitted to the data and plotted in red. The 95% confidence interval of the fit is shown with red dashed lines.
