Abstract

Current research on long-term predictions of meteorological and oceanic elements is abundant, but research on long-term prediction of wave energy is scarce, which is urgently needed in the long-term planning of resource development. The long-term projection of wave energy can be usually achieved by the following three methods: (1) Analyzing the relationship among wave energy, MJO (Madden-Julian Ocillation), nino3 and other important factors, combined with the long-term trend characteristics of wave energy, to achieve medium- and long-term prediction of wave energy; (2) with wave model driven by CMIP (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) data, to project the future wave energy; (3) using methods of Hilbert Huang, artificial neural network (ANN), etc., combined with long-term sequence wave energy data to make long-term projection of wave energy. This chapter proposed a long-term projection scheme of wave energy, with the CMIP5 data to drive the current international advanced numerical wave model WW3, to simulate the global wave field from 2020 to 2059, and then project and analyze the wave energy of the Maritime Silk Road for the future 40 years. The projection parameters include the WPD, available rate, energy richness, stability, and monthly variation, to provide scientific evidence for long-term planning of resource development.
