Abstract
The study aims to determine mean annual wave heights and wind speeds in the Adriatic Sea. The Adriatic serves as a shipping route towards central Europe and a food and energy source for surrounding countries. Wave and wind climate information can serve as basis for design, research and policy making regarding ship safety and operability, potential renewable energy exploitation, design of off-shore installation etc. Mean annual wave height and wind speed values have been statically derived based on 43, 274 ship sea state observations reported by the Hydrographical Institute of Republic of Croatia. This data has been digitalized and processed resulting in mean annual observed wave heights and corresponding wind speed values. Calm sea and no wind time percent periods have been calculated and wind-speed-to-wave-height correlations presented. The obtained results are discussed for accuracy, significant effects are listed and future work guidelines are given.
