WaveWatch3 Australia - Forcing dataset (for MARVL)

WAVEWATCH III model of the Australian region (model version 4.08). WAVEWATCH III™ (Tolman 1997, 1999, 2009) is a third generation wave model developed at NOAA/NCEP in the spirit of the WAM model (WAMDIG 1988, Komen et al. 1994). It is a further development of the model WAVEWATCH, as developed at Delft University of Technology (Tolman 1989, 1991) and WAVEWATCH II, developed at NASA, Goddard Space Flight Center (e.g., Tolman 1992). WAVEWATCH III™, however, differs from its predecessors in many important points such as the governing equations, the model structure, the numerical methods and the physical parameterizations. Furthermore, with model version 3.14, WAVEWATCH III™ is evolving from a wave model into a wave modeling framework, which allows for easy development of additional physical and numerical approaches to wave modeling. This is purely a description of the forcing dataset used within the MARine Virtual Laboratory (MARVL).澳大利亚区域WAVEWATCH III模式（模式版本4.08）。 WAVEWATCH III™（Tolman，1997、1999、2009）是由美国国家海洋和大气管理局/国家环境预报中心（NOAA/NCEP）开发的第三代海浪模式，其开发理念承袭自WAM模式（WAMDIG，1988；Komen等，1994）。该模式是代尔夫特理工大学开发的WAVEWATCH模式（Tolman，1989、1991）以及美国国家航空航天局（NASA）戈达德航天飞行中心开发的WAVEWATCH II模式（如Tolman，1992）的进一步迭代升级版本。然而，WAVEWATCH III™在诸多核心层面与其前代模式存在显著差异，包括控制方程、模式架构、数值方法以及物理参数化方案。此外，随着3.14版本的推出，WAVEWATCH III™已从单一的海浪模式升级为海浪建模框架，可便捷地拓展新增的海浪建模物理与数值方法。 本内容仅为对海洋虚拟实验室（MARine Virtual Laboratory，MARVL）中所使用的强迫数据集的说明。
