VALIDATION OF A REGIONAL WAVE MODEL WITH ENVISAT AND BUOY OBSERVATIONS
A high resolution North Atlantic and European Wave (NAEW) model has been developed in the Met Office. It is framed in a rotated latitude-longitude grid with a space resolution of 12 km and based on the same physics as the Met Office global wave model except for a new 3 rd order positive-definite adv...

| Summary: | A high resolution North Atlantic and European Wave (NAEW) model has been developed in the Met Office. It is framed in a rotated latitude-longitude grid with a space resolution of 12 km and based on the same physics as the Met Office global wave model except for a new 3 rd order positive-definite advection scheme and a new Sub-Range Wave Height (SRWH) output variable. The wind forcing comes from a regional atmospheric model of the same rotated grid and horizontal resolution and spectral boundary conditions from the global wave model. Four buoys and Envisat RA2 and ASAR ocean wave observations are used for model validation and they are in good agreement with the model. 1. |
