Wave forecasting group at DICCA publishes daily 72 hours forecasts for the Mediterranean Basin, for the Seas around Italy and for the Northern Thyrrhenian Sea.
The WavewatchIII model is operational at DICCA, University of Genoa, with a 10km grid resolution over the whole Mediterranean basin. A nested grid of 2km resolution covers the Northern Thyrrhenian Sea and the Ligurian Sea. Wind forcing is obtained by means of WRF runs with 10 km grid resolution for the whole Mediterranean basin and with 3.3 km grid resolution for the Northern Thyrrhenian Sea. WRF is initialized with the global model NCEP-GFS at 0.5° resolution.
WaveWatchIII model (2009) has been developed by the National Weather Service (NWS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
