Arctic change and reductions in sea ice are impacting Arctic communities and are leading to increased commercial activity in the Arctic. Improved forecasts will be needed at a variety of timescales to support Arctic operations and infrastructure decisions. Increased resolution and ensemble forecasts will require significant computational capability. At the same time, high performance computing ...

AUSWAM, a version of the third-generation WAM wave model (WAMDI Group 1988), has been the operational sea-state model run by the National Meteorological and Oceanographic Centre (NMOC) since June 1994. Forecasts of sea-state from AUSWAM are used as numerical forecast guidance for the Bureau’s marine services. On Thursday 19 August 2010 AUSWAM was replaced by AUSWAVE, based on the WAVEWATCH III®...

In this study, high-resolution unstructured ocean wave datasets based on a third-generation model (WAVEWATCH III, WW3) were developed for south-east Australia. Through we aim to understand the climate hindcast and develop future projections by end of 21st century.

This project seeks to improve the reliability of air-sea interfacial flux parameterizations in coupled sea state/marine weather forecasting models, with a particular focus on refining and incorporating the role of wave breaking and sea spray in severe conditions. The approach adopted is to develop more realistic parameterizations for breaking occurrence and strength, and sea spray/spume source ...

This paper presents the development of an operational wave forecast in South Atlantic Ocean. The system adopts WAVEWATCH-III model version 6.07 using ST4 physics and its implementation follows four steps: (1) assessment wind forecasts products (GFS/NOAA ICON/DWD); (2) investigation source-terms model; (3) sensitivity tests involving spectral spatial resolutions combined with analysis different ...
