Abstract: The authors analyze the accuracy of the surface wind of the Adriatic Sea from a global model. They find it to be substantially underestimated and propose a calibration by a suitable enhancement of the strength of the fields. ...

Abstract: Horizontal diffusion is used in meteorological models to reduce noise in the shorter spatial scales and to increase numerical stability. In turn, this affects the surface wind distribution. A series of tests on real ...

Abstract: ettuno is a wind and wave forecast system for the Mediterranean Sea. It has been operational since 2009 producing twice-daily high-resolution forecasts for the next 72 h. The authors have carried out a detailed analysis ...
