First WAPOSAL project publication is now published! The study maps Mediterranean Sea wave‑energy resources using high‑resolution Sentinel‑3A/B and CryoSat‑2 satellite altimetry validated against wave buoy observations. It identifies key high‑energy zones and seasonal variability, showing greatest wave‑power potential between the Balearic Islands and Sardinia and along select coastal regions.
