The aim of this page is to establish the data format and the file name convention for the data exchange in the context of the activities of the WMO Lead Centre for Wave Forecast Verification.
We aim at inviting the different institutes that are participating in the current Wave Forecast Verification Project that Jean Bidlot has maintained for JCOMM (see list of contacts below):
Please Note:
- The fields will be on a regular latitude‐longitude grid at the resolution that is best matching the native resolution of the direct model output.
- The data should be encoded in GRIB format (edition 2) using WMO compliant templates. ECMWF can assist in the conversion into GRIB edition 2.
- The data will be pulled via ftp from an agreed server location at the data producer's site.
- Participants are committed to guarantee a steady and reliable provision of their data and to communicate any relevant changes.
