Mediterranean Sea Waves Reanalysis
'''Short description:'''
MEDSEA_MULTIYEAR_WAV_006_012 is the multi-year wave product of the Mediterranean Sea Waves forecasting system (Med-WAV). It contains a Reanalysis dataset, an Interim dataset covering the period after the reanalysis until 1 month before present and a monthly climatological dataset (reference period 1993-2016). The Reanalysis dataset is a multi-year wave reanalysis starting from January 1993, composed by hourly wave parameters at 1/24° horizontal resolution, covering the Mediterranean Sea and extending up to 18.125W into the Atlantic Ocean. The Med-WAV modelling system is based on wave model WAM 4.6.2 and has been developed as a nested sequence of two computational grids (coarse and fine) to ensure that swell propagating from the North Atlantic (NA) towards the strait of Gibraltar is correctly entering the Mediterranean Sea. The coarse grid covers the North Atlantic Ocean from 75°W to 10°E and from 70° N to 10° S in 1/6° resolution while the nested fine grid covers the Mediterranean Sea from 18.125° W to 36.2917° E and from 30.1875° N to 45.9792° N with a 1/24° resolution. The modelling system resolves the prognostic part of the wave spectrum with 24 directional and 32 logarithmically distributed frequency bins. The wave system also includes an optimal interpolation assimilation scheme assimilating significant wave height along track satellite observations available through CMEMS and it is forced with daily averaged currents from Med-Physics and with 1-h, 0.25° horizontal-resolution ERA5 reanalysis 10m-above-sea-surface winds from ECMWF.
