Operational Wave Models at NCEP
• The following wave model systems are operational at NCEP– Global, Deterministic
• Multi_1: Global wave model, driven by GFS• Multi_2: Hurricane wave model, driven by a GFS/GFDL wind blend
– Global, Ensemble• MENS: Global wave ensemble model driven by GEFS• NFCENS: Combined NCEP/FNMOC wave ensemble product
– Super-ensemble combining NCEP and FNMOC wave ensemble wave heights
– Great Lakes, Deterministic• NAM driven wave model system• NDFD driven wave model system• A EMC-development parallel wave model (this is an upgrade of wave
physics for the Great Lakes and has been approved for transition to operations, as soon as the schedule makes it feasible).

Spatial Hs maps
• Spatial fields of modeled wave heights, types of plots– Maximum wave-height swath (from wave
ensembles), give an integrated view of maximum predicted waves
– Probabilities for wave heights larger than 7m (from wave ensembles)
– Spatial fields of wave heights from deterministic models
