[Ncep.list.wwatch3.discussion-group] WAVEWATCH III Meeting Notes : Jun 14th 2015

[Mathieu Dutour]

Dear all,

in my opinion, I think
---GIT repository are adequate for storing analytic test case and test case
with a small grid (2000 nodes maximum). It is preferable to have analytic
wind or a program to generate the wind.ww3 current.ww3 and other files
used as input. Size should be a few Mega f
---ftp sites are adequate for realistic test case.

I do not see netcdf <--> ascii as being really important. The problem of
such files (netcdf / ascii) is that if we change the input file then the
file is completely changed and it means that the size of the .git
repository grows very large and eventually become unworkable.
