OBSERVATION: 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
VERIFICATION: 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. Red line : the best fit to data.
Green-dash line : 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
