Treatment of unresolved islands and ice in wind wave models, Ocean Modell

In ocean wave prediction models, unresolved islands are a major source of (local) errors. This paper presents a method based on a technique used in the SWAN model to deal with such islands. The method is tested in the operational global WAVEWATCH III model of the National Centers for Environmental P...
