Waves Winter School 2013 Participants
The wave modeling group at NCEP/NOAA has developed a short course about wave modeling, wave dynamics and the WAVEWATCH III® model, which is intended to become a formal part of the University of Maryland (UMD) curriculum in the future. In preparation to the future for-credit course, NCEP and UMD are sponsoring a one-week workshop at UMD (Wave Winter School), during the 14-18 January 2013.
The Waves Winter School will have 10-20 participants, targeting direct collaborators on wave modeling at NCEP, as well as partners in the ongoing NOPP project on operational wave model improvement. Topics covered will include wave dynamics and modeling, WAVEWATCH III® model basics, grid structures, coding principles, numerics and oceanic and nearshore applications.
The first NCEP/UMD Waves Winter School is sponsored by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NOAA/NCEP) and The University of Maryland's Department of Atmospheric & Oceanic Science.
Please note that all the lectures and tutorials were prepared for v4.08 of the WAVEWATCH III® model.
In the following table, "* Tutorial PDF" refers to a document that will guide you through the exercises. The "Tutorial_*.tar.gz" contains all of the files that you will need to complete the exercise.
You may also download the entire course (all PDF's and files) here: Waves_Winter_School_2013.tar.gz
