question on wind-induced wave direction (Dwave)?

#1 Unread post by schen »

Hi all,

I'm using ANA_WWAVE to analytically specify wind-induced waves. In analytical.F or ana_wwave.h, an input of wave direction (Dwave) is needed.

Assuming that the waves are propagating toward positive XI direction, should I use Dwave = 270 * deg2rad (following LAKE_SIGNELL test case)? Does it mean wind and wave direction are in meteorological convetion?

Your inputs are much appreciated!!
