| Description: | A simple graphic method for wave forecasting during the occurrence of hurricanes in the Caribbean adyacent to Costa Rica is presented. This method utilizes the basic parameters which are reported by the services of meteorological information. Based on the study of parameters which characterize a hurricane: central pressure, speed and direction of movement, and radius of maximum winds, carried out by Lizano and Fernández (1996), combinations covering all types of hurricanes which may be generated in the region were made. Utilizing a numerical wave generation model, the wind and wave hurricane conditions asociated with the different combinations of those parameters were simulated. An example (Hurricane Joan in 1988) is provided, in order to carry out a wave forecast with the typical hurricane parameters. |
