Coastal Data Information Program: advances in measuring and modeling wave activity, climate, and extremes
The Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) provides wave data to the public in near real-time, maintains an operational wave model for the California coast, and is engaged in ocean wave research on a global scale. CDIP’s array of moored wave buoy stations are instrumented with Datawell Waveriders. CDIP’s recent work to improve monitoring capabilities for directional surface wave spectra, surface current, and temperature is described. This includes data quality assurance and control, real-time alerts, telemetry and dissemination information technology infrastructure and methodology, data visualization tools, and mooring and instrumentation innovation. CDIP’s goal is to maximize data reliability, availability, accuracy, and precision. Validation of commonly used wave models – operational, hindcast, and forecast – with CDIP data is automated to provide assessments of relative skills at a variety of coastal locations and wave conditions. Wave heights measured by the buoys typically exceed modeled heights during the most energetic events, such as hurricanes, nor’easters, and bomb cyclones. In a practical validation example, the global wave model used to drive CDIP’s California coastal wave forecasts was recently changed, based on comparisons against buoy data. Forecast performance has improved for swell events, which are a challenge to model accurately in the Southern California Bight.
