| Zusammenfassung |
| We describe the implementation of an operational high resolution wind and
wave forecasting system in the Mediterranean Sea, and then on a limited area
centred on the south-east part of Italy, covering parts of the Adriatic and
the Ionian seas. We analyse the performance at the two different resolutions
during the first four months of operation, using the wind and wave data
provided by the QuikSCAT scatterometer, and the Jason and Envisat
altimeters. Useful accurate forecasts are found up to 72 h range, the
maximum operational one. As expected, we find that the limited area models
outperform both the wind and wave global or larger scale model results.
However, we still find an appreciable underestimate by the models for
surface wind speed and hence wave height, often concentrated on specific
events. |
