Wave model verification - model intercomparison
We compare seasonal (6 month) observed and hindcasted significant wave heights,
and calculate:
mean error (bias)
standard deviation
scatter index
peak bias
abs. mean peak error (5 highest peaks).
Results
In the plots below, "opr" refers to the operational set-up
with full data coverage.
In the various test models, the data sets are matched up so that
only forecasts produced with all set-ups are included.
"oprtest" refers to the operational set-up,
matched up in this way.
"curtest" refers to the set-up with current refraction
using BSHcmod/Hycom data.
