本文介绍并讨论了瑞典西海岸的波浪气候。它是基于8年（1997年至2004年）的波浪数据从13个站点，近岸和近海，在斯卡格拉克和卡特加特。数据是WAM和SWAN波浪模型的产品，在一个地点由波浪测量浮标校准。计算结果表明，在斯卡格拉克近海，平均能通量约为5.2kW/m，在斯卡格拉克近岸，平均能通量约为2.8kW/m，在卡特加特海峡，平均能通量约为2.4kW/m。研究地点之一，即地点9，是乌普萨拉大学可再生电能转换中心管理的波浪能研究地点。自2006年春季以来，该场址已安装了一个波浪发电厂，计划在2008年期间再安装七个。波浪能作为一种可再生能源的驱动力的兴趣，导致这项研究的结果从这个角度进行了简要的讨论。
This paper presents and discusses the wave climate off the Swedish west coast. It is based on 8years (1997–2004) of wave data from 13 sites, nearshore and offshore, in the Skagerrak and Kattegat. The data is a product of the WAM and SWAN wave models calibrated at one site by a wave measurement buoy. It is found that the average energy flux is approximately 5.2kW/m in the offshore Skagerrak, 2.8kW/m in the nearshore Skagerrak, and 2.4kW/m in the Kattegat. One of the studied sites, i.e. site 9, is the location of a wave energy research site run by the Centre for Renewable Electric Energy Conversion at Uppsala University. This site has had a wave power plant installed since the spring of 2006, and another seven are planned to be installed during 2008. Wave energy as a renewable energy source was the driving interest that led to this study and the results are briefly discussed from this perspective.
