<div dir="ltr">We are very excited with this development of WAVEWATCH III. Kudos to Ali, Jessica, Aron and Tyler for working so hard to get this capability in (well a series of capabilities. It was very hard to get Aron to stop!). This is a significant milestone for WAVEWATCH III and we are very proud of the work done by this team. Now like any new significant development there are bound to be bugs so we would love for everyone to test drive this shiny new car and let us know all the issues that you find. Keep in mind that the real upgrade you will see is when you try to run the very high resolution grids. As always we rely on the community support to make this a success. <div><br></div><div>Once again. Congratulations all !
