Abstract
A numerical wave prediction model for shallow water has been developed with specific application to the Northern Adriatic Sea. Refraction patterns from a single prediction point are evaluated for a given number of frequencies and directions. The energy balance equation is successively integrated along the characteristics providing the wave spectra at the reference point and at a given time. Predicted and experimental results are compared and discussed.
