|LabDescription=Waves enhance sediment resuspension from the seabed and shorelines. Wave power is often correlated to shoreline erosion and is used to assess feasibility of renewable wave energy generation. This lab demonstrates how to use the CSDMS data component to download surface wave properties from the WAVEWATCH III model output for a given time period, interpolate it to a specific location, and calculate the wave power over time at that point.

Introduction
Waves enhance sediment resuspension from the seabed and shorelines. Wave power is often correlated to shoreline erosion and is used to assess feasibility of renewable wave energy generation. This lab demonstrates how to use the CSDMS Data Component to download surface wave properties from the WAVEWATCH III model output for a given time period, interpolate it to a specific location, and calculate the wave power over time at that point.
Classroom organization In this lab, we will use the WAVEWATCH III Data Component to download the model output from the WAVEWATCH III model, including significant wave height, peak wave period, peak wave direction, windspeed in east-west direction, and windspeed in the north-south direction. These datasets are interpolated to a location on the Northern Gulf of Mexico continental shelf (28.8°N, 267.4°E). Wave power is then calculated using the significant wave height and peak wave period for this location.
