WAVEWATCH III model of the Australian region (model version 4.18). 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).
