[Ncep.list.wwatch3.discussion-group] W3 updated to version 6.06: IC5 Fox and Squire viscoelastic ice layer model

[Ali Abdolali - NOAA Affiliate]

Hi Everyone,



WAVEWATCH III is now at version 6.06 with the inclusion of the uomic5
branch! A quick list of the updates are:

·       IC5- as a sea ice source term option for the extended Fox and
Squire viscoelastic ice layer model. The fifth method for representing
ice-induced wave decay is based on another viscoelastic-type model, i.e.,
the EFS ice layer model described in Mosig et. al 2015. The new source term
introduced viscosity into the thin elastic plate model of Fox and Squire
(1994) and restricted it to one horizontal dimension (replacing a plate by
a beam).



·       ST6 Update which includes source functions (wind input,
whitecapping dissipation, swell dissipation, negative input, physical
constraints)



Four regtests have been added to the existing /ww3_tic1.1 for IC5



More details can be found on the Vlab Issue at
https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/issues/48319.



·       We also have a couple of bug fixes since ugdev2 branch integration
with the master.



If you do have problems, please create an issue describing it on Vlab (
https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/projects/emc-ww3/issues/new) adding
Jessica and me as watchers or send an email (emails:
jessica.meixner at noaa.gov, ali.abdolali at noaa.gov).

Best,

Ali
