The document describes the Quality of the Delayed Mode or REProcessed (REP) WAVES product delivered by the CMEMS In Situ Thematic Assembly Center (In Situ TAC or INSTAC). The following document applies to the following list of products described in CMEMS Catalogue: - Product name: Global Ocean - Delayed Mode Wave product - Product code: INSITU_GLO_WAVE_REP_OBSERVATIONS_013_045 - Delivery Time: twice a year since 2019 This product integrate observation aggregated and validated from the Regional EuroGOOS consortium (Arctic-ROOS, BOOS, NOOS, IBI-ROOS, MONGOOS) and Black Sea GOOS as well as from National Data Centers (NODCs), JCOMM global systems (Argo, GOSUD, OceanSITES, GTSPP, DBCP) and the Global telecommunication system (GTS) used by the Met Offices. Data are distributed on full level (no interpolation). They are available in a dedicated directory to waves (INSITU_GLO_WAV_REP_OBSERVATIONS_013_045) of CMEMS Dissemination System in one file per platform. This directory is updated twice a year since 2019. Four of the INSTAC regions (BAL, NWS, IBI and MED) are performing their own wave validation over the data contained in their respective files (“BO_”, “NO_”, “IR_” and “MO_”). These REP files are distributed also in the corresponding REP regional directories. The GLOBAL Production Unit gets these files together with the validated “GL_” files and distributes the final WAVES product in the dedicated directory mentioned above.
