Seaport operability is key to the economic viability of ports. Metocean conditions (e.g., wind, short waves, and infragravity waves) affect this when certain thresholds are exceeded. This paper describes a method for global mapping seaport risk indicators using open-source metocean data. global-scale assessment provides geographic overview risks first-order insights into most relevant at each l...
