Abstract
The development of ocean renewable energy (ORE) can assist additional sources in tackling the impact of changing climate. However, ocean resources are highly affected by climate change impact themselves.
Hence, it is important to investigate such impact and consider the climate change impact in sustainability criteria for planning, site selection, and technology development of OREs.
In order to assess the sustainability of global wave energy, we utilized five decades of historical re-analysis wave climate to first, investigate the long-term change of wave resources in different time scales, and, second, to show the relation between the change of different wind and wave parameters.
Defining such a relationship can be used in the prediction of future changes in wave resources based on change in various wind and wave characteristics for sustainable development purposes.
