Wave Characteristics in the Northern Coasts of Persian Gulf

Understanding the wave pattern as a first step in marine studies is very important. The global models as a source of data can be used to simulate local waves. Before applying them, their results should be evaluated. One of the most important global models is the ECMWF model. Based on the wave simulation in the northern coast of the Persian Gulf, it can be said that the ECMWF model results are of good quality for use in local modelling in this area. Also, according to the statistical analysis, the Generalized Pareto and Weibull distributions had the best fit.
