Validation of North Sea models: sub report 1. Validation and sensitivity analysis

Book - Report

North Sea models are necessary tools to provide boundary conditions for any model that has its boundaries in the North Sea. They solve the physics of the propagating Kelvin wave in the North Sea (harmonics component) and the wind-driven surge.
This report aims to test 4 different schematisations of the North Sea with regards to their hindcasting performance at calculating water levels in the Belgian Coastal Zone.
• DCSMv5-ZUNOv3
• DCSMv6-ZUNOv4
• DCSM-FM-0.5nm
• DCSM-FM-100m
Furthermore, two different data sources for wind data are tested. They both stem from different models:
• HIRLAM
• ECMWF
