Abstract: Fixed rank kriging (FRK) is employed to predict significant wave height (SWH) and wave power in space and time around the Korean Peninsula. Using reanalysis and observational data, non-stationary and non-Gaussian characteristics are accounted for to produce high-resolution SWH fields for wave power assessment. Seasonal and daily modeling scenarios reveal that the eastern coast's offshore waters have the highest wave power potential in winter. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of FRK for large-scale prediction and support the feasibility of wave energy development in South Korea.
