HOMERE is a sea-states hindcast database, based on WAVEWATCH III model (version 4.11) on a unstructured grid covering the English Channel and Bay of Biscay (NGUG) over 1994-2016 period (23 years).
- Correction of forcing data for two years (1996 and 2001)
- Extension of the dataset beyond 2012 and up to and including 2016
- Rewrite output parameters
- Updating the parameter names
- Porting of the database on the new DATARMOR operational server since March 2017.
The data set includes 37 global parameters and the frequency spectra on a very high resolution grid (~110 000 points) as well as directional spectra on a high resolution grid (4096 points), with a one hour time step.
