This study presents a significant wave height correction model using deep learning techniques to enhance long-term wave forecast capabilities. The model utilises buoy measurements to assess the forecasting accuracy of the ECMWF 15-day forecast of significant wave height in the western Atlantic Ocean under various input conditions. The performance of different deep learning methods in modelling the wave forecast error is compared. The model predictions are validated against buoy data, revealing that the forecasting accuracy of the various deep learning methods is comparable. In addition, the model’s adaptability is examined for varying locations and water depths within the study area. The results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves the accuracy of the 15-day wave height forecasting and exhibits good adaptability to a vast sea area.
