The adopted modeling approach is based on the fully two-way coupled\u0000SCHISM-WWMIII numerical suite. The model was forced with ERA5 wind velocities\u0000that were compared to IFREMER altimeter wind velocities and then bias-corrected\u0000for a more accurate treatment of the wind component. Eight major tidal\u0000harmonics extracted from FES2014 were imposed to the open boundaries. After a\u0000preliminary mesh independence analysis, the model results have been validated\u0000against satellite altimeter observations retrieved from the European Space\u0000Agency database spanning the period from 1992 to 2019. Moreover, 28 year\u0000in-situ measurements from two coastal wave buoys and data from four tidal gauge\u0000stations (approximately 20 years) were used to test the nearshore skills of the\u0000model. Several statistical indicators have been used to evaluate the offshore\u0000and nearshore performance of the model results in terms of the main wave\u0000parameters (significant wave height, peak wave period, mean wave direction) and\u0000water levels. All statistical metrics suggest that the present hindcast\u0000improved the predictions of waves and water levels compared to previous\u0000datasets, especially in the coastal regions. The high spatial resolution\u0000together with a full coupling allowed the model to capture and simulate\u0000processes that are induced by the non-linear interactions between waves and\u0000currents, especially nearshore.","PeriodicalId":501270,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Geophysics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142226731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such noise tends to\u0000be well preserved over large distances and cause coherent artifacts in the\u0000recorded data. Over the years, the industry has developed various denoising\u0000techniques for seismic interference removal, but although well performing they\u0000are still time-consuming in use. Machine-learning based processing represents\u0000an alternative approach, which may significantly improve the computational\u0000efficiency. In case of conventional images, autoencoders are frequently\u0000employed for denoising purposes. However, due to the special characteristics of\u0000seismic data as well as the noise, autoencoders failed in the case of marine\u0000seismic interference noise. We therefore propose the use of a customized U-Net\u0000design with element-wise summation as part of the skip-connection blocks to\u0000handle the vanishing gradient problem and to ensure information fusion between\u0000high- and low-level features. To secure a realistic study, only seismic field\u0000data were employed, including 25000 training examples. The customized U-Net was\u0000found to perform well leaving only minor residuals, except for the case when\u0000seismic interference noise comes from the side. We further demonstrate that\u0000such noise can be treated by slightly increasing the depth of our network.\u0000Although our customized U-Net does not outperform a standard commercial\u0000algorithm in quality, it can (after proper training) read and process one\u0000single shot gather in approximately 0.02s. This is significantly faster than\u0000any existing industry denoising algorithm. In addition, the proposed network\u0000processes shot gathers in a sequential order, which is an advantage compared\u0000with industry algorithms that typically require a multi-shot input to break the\u0000coherency of the noise.","PeriodicalId":501270,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Geophysics","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
