Summary
We outline here the logical flow of papers that attack the problem of estimating the wave conditions in front of and at the Venetian littoral. We start from the determination of the wind fields, followed by that of the wave fields. The wave data are then transferred to the coast. We end by analysing the wave conditions inside the main inlet to the Venice lagoon. This paper gives a brief account of the logical flow of arguments from paper to paper, indicating the main results and outlining the robust structure of the overall research. We end with a discussion on the accuracy of the results, and with an indication of the possible lines for further research.
