Due to ongoing testing and resource constraints,
the GFS-Wave website graphics may be slow to
update from time to time. We apologize for this
inconvenience.
Operationally generated graphics of the wave fields (no
spectra or source terms) are available from
Model Analyses and Guidance.
Bulletin files are available from the
Production FTP server.
Look for gfs.YYYYMMDD/CC/wave/station/bulls.tCCz/gfswave.stationID.bull
The significant wave height is a
measure for the wave height, and closely corresponds to
what a trained observer would consider to be the mean wave height. Note that
the highest wave height of an individual wave will be significantly larger.
