EPS Perturbed Forecast Wave Data Set





 

 


 
 


This part includes a brief description and the order forms of this specific Data Set.

Description :

  • Period supported - 29 June 1998 to current date;
  • Each parameter is stored as a field of grid point values, in latitude rows starting at the north and working southwards; within each row values run from west to east starting at the 0° meridian;
  • Data are stored in FM 92 GRIB using sufficient bits to ensure that the values represented can be retrieved to an accuracy consistent with the analysis method used;

The changes to this archive are as follows: 

29 June 1998

Internal data representation is on a 1.5 ° degree latitude/longitude grid

 Data consists of daily 21 day forecasts from base time 1200 UTC

 Forecast steps are 0 then 12 hourly to HH+240

 Field available are 10m wind speed, coefficient of drag with waves, mean direction of primary swell, mean direction of wind waves, mean period of primary swell, mean period of wind waves, mean square slope of waves, mean wave direction, mean wave period, peak period of 1D spectra, significant height of primary swell, significant height of wind waves, significant wave height
