Mediterranean Sea Waves Reanalysis (CMEMS Med-Waves, MedWAM3 system)

MEDSEA_MULTIYEAR_WAV_006_012 is the multi-year product (reanalysis) of the Mediterranean Sea Waves forecasting system (WAM 4.6.2), starting from Jan 1993, updated twice a year, composed by hourly wave parameters at 1/24° horizontal resolution, covering the Mediterranean Sea and extending up to 18.125W into the Atlantic Ocean. The reanalysis wave model includes an optimal interpolation assimilation scheme assimilating significant wave height along track satellite observations available through CMEMS and it is forced with 1-h, 0.25° horizontal-resolution ERA5 reanalysis 10m-above-sea-surface winds from ECMWF.
