Wave breaking in Australia's coastal and open ocean regions has significant consequences for weather forecasting, marine safety, defence and renewable energy, yet no conceptual or computing framework exists for this fundamental process. This innovative project extends our recent advances in predicting wave breaking onset and strength of unidirectional wave groups to forecast breaking in realistic directional wind seas. The results of this project will provide the scientific basis needed to include reliable breaking wave information in forecast models, and will improve their accuracy. It will also increase the international competitiveness of Australian commerce reliant on accurate marine environmental forecasts.

澳大利亚沿海和开放海域的波浪破碎对天气预报、海洋安全、国防和可再生能源产生了重大影响，但对于这一基本过程，目前还没有概念或计算框架。这个创新的项目扩展了我们在预测破浪开始和单向波群强度方面的最新进展，以预测现实的定向风海中的破浪。该项目的结果将为在预报模式中纳入可靠的破碎波信息提供所需的科学依据，并将提高预报模式的准确性。它还将提高依赖准确海洋环境预报的澳大利亚商业的国际竞争力。
