Summary

Abstract: WAVEWATCH III (Tolman 1997, 1999a) 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
I, as developed at Delft University of Technology (Tolman 1989, 1991)
and WAVEWATCH II, developed at NASA, Goddard Space Flight Center
(e.g., Tolman 1992). It ...
