Abstract

In the face of rapid technological advancements, innovations in wave forecasting are increasingly essential for effectively addressing the complex impacts of climate change. This study aims to explore technological developments in wave forecasting that can manage the complexities related to climate change and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of predictions in dynamic marine environments. Employing a qualitative approach through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, the research focuses on literature from databases such as Scopus, DOAJ, and Google Scholar, specifically targeting publications from 2014 to 2024. Recent findings reveal that advancements in machine learning technologies, including deep learning, ensemble learning, transfer learning, and data augmentation, have significantly improved the precision and efficiency of wave forecasting models. Techniques like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have been particularly effective in capturing complex, non-linear patterns within wave data, enhancing the overall prediction accuracy. Ensemble learning methods have further contributed by increasing the stability and robustness of forecasts. Moreover, transfer learning and data augmentation play vital roles in adapting these models to rapidly changing environmental conditions, making them highly relevant in the context of climate change. These approaches are crucial for models to remain adaptable and responsive to dynamic oceanic conditions influenced by climate variability. The insights derived from this study are expected to provide valuable direction for the future development of machine learning-based wave forecasting models, emphasizing the need for innovative techniques that can accommodate the complexities and uncertainties brought about by climate change.
