The NOPP operational wave model improvement project

摘要: Abstract The National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) has recently initiated a five-year project entitled “Improving Wind Wave Predictions: Global to Regional Scales”. This focuses on improving operational wind wave modeling, by transitioning new science into such models, and developing physics parameterizations for models. paper describes the general goals of project, operations gaps it attempts bridge. Further attention is given data sets validation techniques Finally, an outlook with desired already achieved outcomes this presented.
