Study of waves at different fetches using WAVEWATCH III modeling and precipitation radar data

WAVEWATCH III wave model is used to simulate wave parameters in Persian Gulf at different wind fetches. The default packages of the wind input source terms and the authors adaptation of WAVEWATCH III model are tested in several points with various fetches and compared with the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) data. The proposed new technique may be used for the verification of the modeled data.
