title = "Assessment of extreme wave height events in Galway Bay using high frequency radar (CODAR) data",
abstract = "The Galway bay 1/4-scale wave energy test site on the West coast of Ireland is selected as a study area for the assessment of extreme wave events presented in this paper. A preliminary data analysis includes two datasets: (1) high frequency radar measurements from the Galway Bay CODAR system, and (2) the Galway Bay wave buoy. A comparison between CODAR and wave buoy data for the period from October to December 2103 shows a good level of agreement between the datasets with a root mean square error of 0.34 for significant wave height (Hs), thus validating the accuracy of CODAR data for use in extreme wave assessments. The main objective of the paper is an assessment of extreme wave conditions based on 3 months of CODAR data. Monthly mean values for Hs are presented as monthly wave occurrences and quintiles plot analyses.",
