1D wave spectra. The experimental spectrum is indicated by light-gray bold solid wide line, the simulated spectrum with the parameterizations WAM 3, gray dashed line, WAM 3 with the new , gray solid line, Tolman and Chalikov, dark gray dashed line, Tolman and Chalikov with the new , dark gray solid line, and WAM 4, a long dotted line. (a) The improved prediction of the wave spectra with the use of the new parameterization of ; (b) spectra of the beginning of the time interval, where the spectra from the field experiment are higher than the spectra from the numerical experiment; (c) the spectra from the numerical experiment are higher than the spectra from the field experiment.
