Hi,

I would like to suggest adding the operational wave forecast WW3_4km developed by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway) at Windy.

MET Norway recently released its new open-access wave forecast based on the third-generation spectral wave model WaveWatchIII. Some advantages of WW3_4km model:

• uses advanced physics for wind input and dissipation (ST4; Ardhuin et al., 2010)
• considers complex phenomena such as wave-ice interactions, which are essential in the Arctic regions.
• has a high spatial resolution grid (4 km)
• its domain covers a big part of the Northeast Atlantic, including the Nordic Seas (see figure below)
• 4 x daily prognosis with hourly output fields
• forecast length of 66 hours
• freely available at https://thredds.met.no/thredds/fou-hi/ww3_4km.html

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Best regards,

@Konstantinos-Christakos Hello @Ondřej-Šutera , do you think that there is still a chance including this forecast product on Windy?

@Ondřej-Šutera Thanks for the reply.

@Ondřej-Šutera Is there any update about including this high-resolution wave forecast in Windy?

@Ondřej-Šutera Great!
