Significant wave height (SWH) conditions observed from satellite
Average satellite SWH
Histogram of all observations
90% percentile of satellite SWH
Maximum satellite SWH
Weekly averaged satellite SWH and 90% percentile
Scatter plot and mean errors
All pairs of WAM (0-6 hour) and satellite observations have been used.
The number of observations in each 5x5 cm box is shown with
colors. The red line represents the best fit to the data whereas the
green dashed line represents a one to one relationship.
Errors in 2 dimensions
Average error statistics have been calculated over 100 km bins,
to provide enough observations to obtain reliable 2D error estimates
Bias (WAM - altimetry)
Stddev
Scatter index
Histogram of comparisons
Error statistics vs. forecast length
Bias and standard deviations have been calculated over the whole domain,
for every hour of WAM forecast, up to 60 hours
Error statistics vs. wave height
The bin size is 1 meter
Error vs. season
Bias and stddev have been calculated for weekly averages
