If you are participating in this project, please update your own page in the column "details from data provider" in the last table below.
We are currently inviting the institutes that are participating in the current Wave Forecast Verification Project that Jean Bidlot has maintained for JCOMM, but other Centres are welcome to join the project.

Parameter Name | units | |
---|---|---|
Atmospheric forcing: | 10m U wind speed | m/s |
10m V wind speed | m/s | |
Wave Fields: | Significant wave height | m |
Peak period | s | |
Mean wave period based on the second moment of the frequency spectrum | s | |
Mean wave direction | degree true |
Forecast-observation matching
The matching between forecast and observation will be based on a nearest grid point approach.
No match-up will be performed if any of the surrounding grid points are missing in order to minimise land contamination effects.
Potential contributors to the Wave Forecast Verification Project.
Contributors are invited to update their own page in the column "details from data provider".
If there is a need to change the main page please send a request enrico.fucile@ecmwf.int as concurrent editing is sometimes giving unexpected results.
