East Atlantic SWAN Wave Model Significant Wave Height

SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) is a third-generation wave model which was primarily developed for use in coastal regions. The operational East_Atlantic model used to generate this dataset was an implementation of the SWAN model for Irish waters. The East Atlantic SWAN Wave Model dataset contains wave parameters output by this model, including: Significant Wave Height (m), Mean Wave Direction (degreesTrue) and Mean Wave Period (seconds). The East Atlantic model covers a portion of the eastern Atlantic ocean that stretching from Iberian Peninsula to Scotland. The horizontal resolution of the model grid is 0.025 degrees. Model data is available for the previous 30 days and 6 days into the future. The East Atlantic model is an operational model forced by operational atmospheric (GFS) and boundary (FNMOC Global Wavewatch 3 Forecast) forcing. The East Atlantic system provides a daily 6-day forecast. The East Atlantic model was run to forecast wave conditions in Irish waters in support of end-user services such as marine operational planning. The East Atlantic model was run by the Oceanographic Services team within Ocean Science and Information Services division of the Marine Institute (Ireland). Model produced daily output for the duration of the dataset.SWAN（Simulating Waves Nearshore，近岸海浪模拟）是一款第三代海浪数值模式，主要面向近岸海域应用研发。用于生成本数据集的业务化东大西洋模式，是针对爱尔兰海域实现的SWAN模式实例。东大西洋SWAN海浪模式数据集包含该模式输出的各类海浪参数，具体包括：有效波高（单位：米）、平均波向（真北方位角）以及平均波周期（单位：秒）。该东大西洋模式覆盖东大西洋部分海域，范围从伊比利亚半岛延伸至苏格兰。模式网格的水平分辨率为0.025度。模式数据涵盖过去30天的回溯时段与未来6天的预报时段。该东大西洋模式为业务化运行模式，其强迫场采用业务化大气模式（GFS）与边界强迫场（FNMOC全球海浪预报3模式，FNMOC Global Wavewatch 3 Forecast）驱动。该系统每日生成一次6天期的海浪预报。东大西洋模式专为爱尔兰海域的海浪状况预报而运行，以支撑海洋作业规划等终端用户服务。本模式由爱尔兰海洋研究所海洋科学与信息服务部的海洋服务团队负责运行。数据集覆盖的全部时段内，模式均按日生成输出结果。
