MyWave project final report

Abstract

The main goal of MyWave is to lay the foundation for a future Marine Core Service that includes ocean waves. The proposal has identified four target areas where concerted research is needed to establish a high quality GMES Marine Core Service for ocean waves: 1. Increase the use of earth observations by improving data processing algorithms and data assimilation systems, 2. Improve the physics in current wave models and provide a framework for coupled model systems (atmosphere/waves/ocean), 3. Establish a new standard for probabilistic wave forecasts based on ensemble methods, 4. Derive standard protocols for validation products.
