Significant Wave Height

Significant wave height (SWH) is a crucial oceanographic parameter representing the average height of the highest one-third of waves, vital for various applications including marine safety and energy. Current research focuses on improving SWH prediction accuracy and efficiency, employing advanced machine learning techniques such as neural networks (including LSTM and GRU architectures) and large language models, often incorporating spatiotemporal data encoding for enhanced performance. These advancements aim to provide more reliable SWH forecasts, improving decision-making in areas like maritime operations, coastal risk management, and renewable energy resource assessment.
