Wave characteristics on North-Central coasts of Vietnam under climate change

Abstract The North-Central coasts of Vietnam are vulnerable due to the effects of global warming and sea level rise. With quite mildly sloping foreshore, these low-lying coasts have been modelled in a non-hydrostatic and phase solving SWASH to investigate the spectral wave period at nearshore and then compare the empirical equation proposed by Hofland et al., 2017. Especially, the ratio of the predicted spectral wave period at shore to deep water was overestimated in comparison with the previous
