Comment on JCGT – Arc Blanc: a real time ocean simulation

Comments

This is really cool! Thank you for submitting it!

It is worth noting this is for the purpose of video games or visual effects not for scientific/operational simulations of the ocean.

Daily operational wave forecasts are available from NOAA's WaveWatch3 model here https://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/wavewatch/ . These data products are wildly used by a variety of services including surf forecasts.

NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory also publishes nice graphics of the WaveWatch3 forecast for the great lakes https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/emf/waves/WW3/

EDIT: So many interesting scales of wave research too!

Here is a very small scale study: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/201...
