The
Sea of Marmara, a relatively small basin located between the Black Sea and the
Aegean Sea with narrow seaways of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, has vital
importance in coastal and ocean engineering activities due to substantial
industrial development surrounding it and related sea traffic. Despite this
importance, measurements concerning coastal engineering applications, in
particular the wave climate, are quite scarce. Lack of essential data impairs
the reliability of engineering works such as breakwaters and coastal protection
structure designs. For a period of approximately one year between February 2013 and January 2014 Turkish Petroleum International Company
(TPIC) carried out wave and wind measurements in the Sea of Marmara. The data were
collected in 30-minute intervals throughout the one year span at the location
of 41o04’ N and 28o19’ E with 50 m
water depth. The present work analyses this rather unique data statistically
for wind, wave height and energy conditions in the Sea of Marmara.
