Examples

Below, you can find examples of how NetSSE functions are used for sea state estimation from various observation platforms.

The examples are in the form of Python scripts (Jupyter notebooks) and can also be found in the examples directory on GitLab. If you would like to run the examples, you can download the notebooks and the corresponding data files from GitLab, and run them in a Python environment with the required dependencies installed.

Contents

The examples are divided into three categories, depending on the scientific focus:

A. Modelling the ocean wave environment.

• Example 1: Characterize a sea state from sea surface elevation time series
• Example 2: Retrieve, process, and visualize wave spectra from ERA5

B. Wave-induced response of surface-floating marine vessels.

• Example 3: Compute transfer functions for a simple geometry
• Example 4: Compute a theoretical response spectrum under given wave conditions

C. Inverse methods for sea state estimation from vessel measurements.

• Example 5: Apply an SSE method for wave spectrum estimation from vessel responses
