Description
NOTE: This dataset does not meet SND's nominal standards for data reusability.
For each point the fetch in 8 directions is used. Fetches are stored in one file. Corrections are made for ice or no ice. If ice concentration is > 50% no waves are created. The winds are taken from a database based on geostrofic winds and downscaled to 10m by a simple formula. Time resolution 3h.
Contact SMHI for further information regarding the dataset.
