IOWAGA - WW3 - HINDCAST - North West Atlantic grid - ECMWF
IOWAGA sea-states hindcast database generated by the wave model WAVEWATCH-III and forced by ECMWF winds on the North West Atlantic grid over 1990-2012 period.
Data origin:
The Integrated Ocean Waves for Geophysical and other Applications (IOWAGA) is funded by the European Comission, through a European Research Council (ERC) "Young Investigator Award". The project aims at providing the best information related to ocean waves for applications in the geosciences: -seismology -coastal dynamics -remote sensing of the ocean -air sea fluxes
And ocean engineering or wider applications: -wave observation and forecasting
WAVEWATCH III is a numerical model that integrates the wave action equation. It is based on a spectral representation of the sea state.
