Implementation of Curvilinear Coordinate System in the WAVEWATCH III Model

Abstract

This document describes modifications to the WAVEWATCH III wave model (Tolman 2002a) by the Naval Research Laboratory, Code 7322. This work is primarily concerned with the implementation of arbitrary structured grid (i.e., curvilinear) approach. Verification test cases are presented.
