WAVEWATCH III (third generation wave model developed at NOAA)

Nesting is not necessary but it is necessary to decide in advance where to increase the resolution of the model

COPERNICUS forcing data: ERA Interim/CMIP5 + EuroCordex Scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathways)

  • Evaluation - historical reanalysis (1979-2018)
  • Historical - baseline (1951-2005)
  • RCP 4.5 - significant emission reduction (2006-2100)
  • RCP 8.5 - no emission reduction (2006-2100)
