Waves working group
The Waves Working Group (WWG) has been established in January 2012. It provides a focus within NCOF on the observation, modelling and forecasting of ocean surface waves. The provision of accurate ocean wave products and forecasts is a major activity of NCOF, which results in products of significant scientific, operational and commercial value.
The Partners within the NCOF WWG offer complementary expertise and capabilities that are relevant to improved ocean wave forecasts. Existing capability includes the acquisition, development and validation of in situ and satellite wind and wave datasets, investigations of theoretical and numerical wave modelling, and operational NRT forecasting. The interests of the WWG cover both the global ocean domain and regional domains, particularly in the shelf-seas and coastal areas.
Objectives include:
- NEMO-WWIII coupling
- UM-WWIII coupling
- Validation of wave models
- To foster collaborative working between the members
- Seeking of funding for students and full projects
