Many of human activities are influenced by wind waves such as fisheries, sailing, and tourism. The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules for a time then making ripples on the surface. The ripple becomes bigger then creates waves, called wind waves. Stronger winds (like storm surges) cause larger waves.<p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Information about wind waves forecasting which can be understandable are needed by almost user as a tool for making a decision before them doing their activities at the sea. There are so many information systems about wave with their pluses and minuses. So, this Final Project has a theme about building a prototype of wind wave's information system based on website as a first step for building a real-time information system.<p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This prototype built by using WAVEWATCH III model as a tool to result the data about significant wave height and wind speed forecasting with 27 km x 27 km model resolution. An input for the model above is obtained from Meteorological Model MM5 as a wind data. This input is processed by WAVEWATCH III until resulting forecast data during two day every six hours a day. All of these data are integrated on a system within a web application CMS which include Joomla! application and represented with the website.
