Comparison of statistical (Q-Q plot) and classical calibration methods in wave modeling

This study aims to calibrate a numerical wave model in west of Hormozgan province in Iran by using classical methods like time series comparison and statistical methods like Quantile-Quantile plot and statistical parameters comparison. The spectrum wave model MIKE21 SW hasbeen applied and the calibration process has been done by using one year wave characteristicsmeasurements in Nakhiloo. In this article, at first the numerical model and measurementsituation has been introduced and then the model results have been calibrated by comparison of time series, Q-Q plots and statistical parameters. At the end, a proper wave models calibration procedure has been presented
