Products: wave data, model code, documentation, course work ...

IOWAGA produces several kinds of wave-related information. Technical information about computer codes, model results and wave observations can be found on the Ifremer Gforge ww3 wiki.

 

  • 2013 training course in Brest, France. Will start on November 4. More information here...  
  • wave model results in numerical form. Go here for the full archive.  Model results are organized by grid: the whole world up to 80°N (GLOBAL), and  higher resolution zooms in specific areas: Mediterranean - MED, Black Sea - BS, Western Caribbean - CRB, East Pacific, Hawaii and Tuamotus - PACE, New Caledonia and Vanuatu -NC, Iroise Sea - IROISE. For each model grid a wide range of parameters is provided: the full list of output parameters is described here.
  • wave observations from experiments at sea. Go here for the full archive
  • software tools in Fortran, Matlab, IDL and shell for the manipulation of model runs, results, and wave observations
  • Tutorials and practical material for using wave data...

 

For the WAVEWATCH III code, please contact NOAA/NCEP.

WAVEWATCH III

WAVEWATCH III est un modèle numérique qui calcule l'évolution de l'action des vagues. Il est fondé sur une décomposition spectrale (de Fourier) de l'état de la mer ...
