5 Introduction with Key Numbers We analyse the quality of wave forecasts valid for the rd quarter of, produced by DMI-WAM - DMI s operational set-up of the rd generation wave model WAM Cycle. The significant wave height H s is of primary interest, but other wave parameters (period, direction, swell) are examined where the data material is adequate. Standard error measures (bias, rms error,..) are calculated both as a function of forecast range and of wave height. Special statistics are done for the highest waves. Grand averages are calculated as mean values over all stations, over all ranges, and for separate geographical regions. All model results are forecasts. This means that errors in the parameters do not necessarily imply a wave model error, but may reflect errors in the wind forecast. DMI has produced short-range operational wave forecasts since. A pre-operational validation study was carried out in [], a combined wave-wind validation study in [], and a verification pilot study in []. Previous quarterly report(s) are [],[]. Outline: Ch. describes the DMI wave model set-up, ch. lines out the data material, and in ch. we define the statistical error measures used to describe the forecast quality. Ch. presents and discusses the results. Ch. concludes the work. Comprehensive results for each station are found in the Appendix. References and lists of figures/tables are found at the end of the report. For convenience, the Table below shows Key Numbers pertaining to the full model system.

6 DMI-WAM DMI has run an operational wave forecasting service for Danish waters since, using the rd generation wave model WAM Cycle (described in [], []) forced by DMI s numerical weather prediction model HIRLAM. In, the geographical model domain includes a large part of the North Atlantic, the North Sea and Baltic Sea, and the Mediterranean. The DMI-WAM model set-up is described in detail below.. Physical model WAM Cycle solves the spectral + ~c rf ~ = S in + S nl + S ds + S cu + S bf where F (f ~x t) is spectral wave energy density, depending on wave frequency, wave direction, position and time; c(f d) is the depth-dependent wave group speed; S in is wind energy input; S nl is non-linear wave-wave interaction; S ds is wave energy dissipation through wave breaking (white capping); S cu is wave-current interaction; S bf is interaction with the sea bed through friction and wave refraction. DMI-WAM still lacks current data (S cu =) and information about sea ice (acts to dampen waves).. Model set-up DMI provides wave forecasts in three geographical domains as shown below: Figure. DMI wave models. North Atlantic, North Sea-Baltic, and Mediterranean model The model open boundaries are chosen as follows. The coarse grid North Atlantic model uses the JONSWAP wind-sea spectrum (see [], []). The fine grid North Sea - Baltic model is nested into the North Atlantic model, and uses time/space interpolated boundary wave spectra calculated by that model. The Mediterranean is treated as a closed basin, assuming no wave energy exchange with the Atlantic or the Black Sea. Please refer to Table for a model set-up summary. The wave forecasting system was coldstarted using developed sea. Subsequent model runs are initialised using the sea state at analysis time, calculated by the previous run.

Changes to the model set-up usually require a new coldstart.. Weather model The forcing models are the DMI limited area numerical weather prediction models Hirlam-E and Hirlam-G. Both are currently being used in the DMI weather forecasting service. The G model embeds the E model, but in coarser spatial resolution (km vs. km on a rotated latitude-longitude grid). The wind vector at m height is interpolated linearly in time and space to match the spherical wave model grids. Figure. DMI Hirlam. The outermost box is the G model, the box covering most of Europe is the E model.
8 Wave data The verification data consists of operational DMI-WAM wave forecasts, and wave ervations from a number of fixed positions (buoys and platforms).. Forecasts Wave parameters output from DMI-WAM are shown in Table. H s H sw T T p T sw w sw DMI-WAM output Significant wave height Height of swell Mean wave period Dominant wave period Swell mean period Mean wave direction Swell direction Table. DMI-WAM wave parameters, obtained by a suitable integral of the wave energy spectrum. Tp is the discretized model frequency (inverse) containing the highest energy, picked from a set of predefined values. The forecasts are stored as hourly maps in model resolution. Time series for each station are sampled using nearest model grid point. This is done for each analysis and each parameter. During the rd quarter of, out of scheduled forecasts were produced.. Observations The wave recorder positions are shown in Fig. below. A total of stations that record more or less regularly are selected for verification. The mean data coverage is % (see Fig. for missing data). Comprehensive station information is found in Appendix.. Observed wave statistics and wave height/period diagrams are shown in Appendices. and.. Wave data is obtained from a number of sources, as indicated in table.

11 Error measures Model errors are calculated using a -d residual matrix, built from all available ervations and forecasts. With the general formula residual = forecast ervation the matrix reads (brackets indicate a dependency) residual(station analysis range) with the number of stations depending on the parameter in question (cf. Table ), analysis every hours, and forecasts ranging from - hours in hour steps. With stations, the size of the residual matrix is about.*. By averaging the residual over all analyses, we get the model bias or mean error: bias(station range) Further linear averaging gives the bias for each forecast range (averaged over all stations), for each station (averaged over the full forecast range), and as a grand average. bias(range) bias(station) BIAS In the same way, the root mean square error rms(station range) is calculated and averaged using the residual squared. For the wave height only, the bias and rms error are also calculated as a function of wave height. The residual is sorted into ervation bins.m wide and averaged for each bin. bias(station bin) rms(station bin) Averaging over all stations gives the model error dependency on wave height, calculated both as an absolute value and as a relative error in %. rms The scatter index si = is obtained by normalising rms with the erved mean value. si may <> be used to intercompare rms errors at stations with large differences in wave climate. Averaging is done as above. Correlation coefficients cc(station block) are calculated using forecast pseudo time series, established by concatenating forecasts in hour range blocks. This gives coefficients valid for each of the range blocks -, -,.., - hours. Range block and station-dependent values (cc cc), and a grand average (CC), are calculated. A special peak bias pbias(station block) is calculated using the most extreme events at each station, allowing for a forecast phase error of a few hours. Peak biases are calculated both as absolute and relative values.
12 Results This section describes wave verification results for the rd quarter of, for significant wave height (H s ), mean and dominant wave period (T T p ), and mean wave direction ( w ). In the sections below, we discuss grand averages and regional averages for each wave parameter in turn. Detailed results for each station are found in the Appendix at the end of the report..

A scatter index of.-. may be considered as a lower limit due to stochastic processes. The error dependency on forecast range and on wave height is shown in Fig.. The bias is independent of forecast range, while rms error, scatter index and correlation coefficient get slightly worse as forecast range increases. The rms error is significant already at analysis time since the model is initialised without any use of the erved sea state. Errors depend strongly on wave height. Small waves have small bias, while higher waves (-m) are underestimated by.m on average. For waves higher than that the data material gets very sparse, please refer to section. on peak errors. The rms error increases with wave height. The relative rms error is -% except for very high or very small waves.

Dominant wave period results Tp errors are large, due partly to low recording and forecasting accuracy, and partly to the nonsmoothness of the series, with Tp shifting abruptly between a high and a low period peak. Even when the wave spectrum is rather well predicted, a small error in the shape of the spectrum may lead to very large Tp errors in situations with a two-peaked spectrum (swell and wind sea). Two examples are found in Figs. and, when a low-frequent swell suddenly dominates a very calm sea. forecast Scatter diagram h, all stations cc=. ervation Figure. Dominant wave period, -h range.

19 Conclusion DMI wave forecasts valid for the rd quarter of are verified, using wave data from buoys. A Key Number Table is found in Introduction section (Table ). Main conclusions are: Significant wave height H s and mean wave direction w are well predicted We have some problems predicting wave period T and T p There is a large regional spread in forecast quality The H s error depends on wave height Very high waves are usually underestimated on average The forecast quality decreases slightly with increasing forecast range The significant wave height is recorded at all stations. The error distribution is examined in terms of forecast range, as a function of erved wave height, and for separate geographical regions. The ervation-forecast correlation is high,. on average. This falls off a bit as the prediction range increases. The average bias is small, independent of forecast range, There is some geographical spread, and a pronounced dependency on wave height. Low waves are overpredicted, while the highest waves are underestimated by about %. The average rms error is.m, increasing gradually with forecast range. For medium-sized waves (-m) the rms error is roughly %; larger and smaller waves have larger relative error. The average scatter index SI=.. stations have si>. (sometimes used as an acceptance level), mostly due to low recording accuracy or small average wave height. The highest waves are usually underestimated, with an average % peak bias. The peak error doubles beyond day two. Two types of wave period are recorded; mean and dominant (peak) wave period. The mean wave period is recorded at locations, half of which have a data interpretation problem. At the remaining stations the model overestimates the mean wave period by roughly.s, with a low scatter index, and a correlation coefficient of about.. Dominant wave period predictions are not good. Bias and rms errors range up to several seconds. This could be a data problem; a well predicted wave spectrum does not guarantee a correct dominant wave period in situations with two spectral maxima. Also, most stations sample only with s accuracy and so does the model; this in itself leads to large error measures. Mean wave direction predictions have insignificant bias, a standard deviation of about o, and a high correlation coefficient. Swell parameters are not recorded at any of the fixed positions. A few record maximum wave height but this is not predicted by the wave model.
