RESULT : Wave “Clusters” = Wave Systems composed of
waves with similar characteristics.
METHODOLOGY
Finding similarities between every pair of objects in the data set by a prescribed distance measure;
Linking objects by well defined rules into a binary hierarchical cluster tree;
Determining a cut off hypothesis for the hierarchical tree to find the final clusters.

Mahalanobis Distance best for wave parameters because it automatically accounts for the coordinate axis scaling, corrects for correlation between
the different parameters and can provide curved decision boundaries.

![Page 39: A REAL TIME , ON-LINE COASTAL INFORMATION PROGRAM IN BRAZIL by](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070407/5681432e550346895daf9df3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
CONCLUDING REMARKS
• Sea [8s E 1.25m] and Swell [12s S 1.25-2.5m] are well defined in the Southern Brazilian wave regime. Hs > 4m may occur in all seasons (although not frequently).
• The “primary” wave fields dataset (obtained by the multimodal spectra peak identification methodology) reveals that about one third of the sea-swell structure, actually refers to the simultaneous presence of both Sea and Swell.
• Cluster Analysis Technique allowed the identification of five different wave systems and indicated also how these systems may combine to form multimodal spectra.
• Bimodal Seas are mainly represented by the superposition of the stable NE wind sea with one of the Swell systems or by the co-occurrence of the near field Swell and the two stage wave systems related to the cold front passage.
• The Clustering Methodology used in this work appears to be a useful and promising tool. The use of the primary waves energy content and the directional spreading as clustering parameters is likely to improve wave systems definition.
