NOAA WAVE WATCH III UPGRADE.
The new multi-grid wave model will eventually
replace the Alaskan (AKW), Western North Atlantic (WNA) and Eastern
North Pacific (ENP) wave models.
All present GRIB and bulletin
data from these models will be produced from the new model.
The Global NWW3 model will be replaced by this model at a later date.
Expected Benefits:
Model structure will be used to introduce higher resolution products to
the field in the future and will allow for future enhancements to
coastal applications. |
No
change

3. Combine NCEP/GEFS (20 member) and CMC/GEFS (20 member) to
produce: Ensemble mean and anomaly, ensemble spread and mode along with
10%,50%,90% probability forecast at 1x1 degree resolution.
4. Statistical downscaling by using RTMA as a reference:
a. At NDGD (5km) resolution (CONUS), generate mean and mode along with
10%, 50% and 90% probability forecast
