Model details
- Please update your model details in the table below.
- The summary of all model details can be seen in Models' description page.
General requirements
- Domain and resolution
- The fields have to be provided on a regular latitude‐longitude grid at the resolution that is best matching the native resolution of the direct model output.
- Parameters
- following set of parameters was agreed:
Atmospheric forcing:
- 10 metre U wind component [m/s]
- 10 metre V wind component [m/s]
- Wave Fields:
- Significant height of combined wind waves and swell [m]
- Peak wave period [s]
- Mean zero-crossing wave period [s]
- Mean wave direction [degree true]
- following set of parameters was agreed:
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.
- Data format
- The data shall be encoded in GRIB format (edition 2) using WMO compliant templates. ECMWF can assist in the conversion into GRIB edition 2.
- Encoding details
Refer to the page LC-WFV technical details for complete specification of the required input data.
- Data exchange
- Refer to the page LC-WFV technical details for expected test and future production work flow.
Contributors are invited to update their own page in the column "Model details from data provider".
