Development of a regional model based on adapted WAVEWATCH III and WRF models for the prediction of surface wind waves on the reservoir and wind

A regional model for the prediction of surface wind waves on the Gorky Reservoir and of the wind over the water area is proposed. The wind was calculated in the WRF model with and without Large Eddy Simulation block. The WRF model wind calculation results were used as wind forcing of the WAVEWATCH model. A comparison of the mean wave parameters with the measured in the experiment at the Gorky Reservoir was made.
