AUTh, NTUA and MarineTraffic partners of the Accu-Waves project have
published a new conference paper at the 31st ISOPE Online Conference
2021 proceedings. The presentation was given by AUTh representatives
and referred to the overall setup of the Accu-Waves tool and the
achievements of the project so far. ISOPE2021 conference was held
virtually on 20-25 June 2021 due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. A

Abstract:
This paper presents a novel initiative for reliable high-resolution
forecasts on prevailing sea states at 50 important ports worldwide
(Accu-Waves; http://localhost/accuwaves/). Its goal is to support safe
navigation, unhampered vessel approaching busy harboured areas, and
secure ship manoeuvring in ports. Accu-Waves is based on integrated,
high-resolution, ocean and coastal modelling that uses data from
global-scale, open-sea forecasts as boundary conditions. The models’
setup, coupling, nesting, calibration, verification, and application
are reported herein, concerning areas near and inside globally
significant port basins. Thus, we present the automated operational
setup of the Accu-Waves service for three-day forecasts at
three-hourly intervals.
