Project Module Keyword Keyword description Options Option description
Water Waves DISTANCE_TO_LAND_METHOD Chooses 1 of 2 methods to compute Distances to Land.

if keyword value = 1 (one) computes distances according to a "graphical" method between points and land polygons. If keyword = 0 (zero) computes distances with a method based on grid.

Water Waves RADIATION_TENSION_X Compute/read radiation stress in XX direction
Water Waves RADIATION_TENSION_Y Compute/read radiation stress in Y direction
Water Waves REMAIN_CONSTANT
Water Waves WAVE_DIRECTION Compute/read wave direction
Water Waves WAVE_HEIGHT Compute/read wave height
Water Waves WAVE_HEIGHT_PARAMETER Proportional parameter ([final_value]=[parameter]*[computed_value]) for wave height calibration.
Water Waves WAVE_PERIOD Compute/read wave period
Water Waves WAVE_PERIOD_PARAMETER Proportional parameter ([final_value]=[parameter]*[computed_value]) for wave period calibration.
Water Waves WAVEGEN_TYPE Chooses 1 of 2 methods to compute Wave Height and Wave Period.

If keyword value equals 0 (zero), WaveHeight and WavePeriod are computed as originaly (wind modulus dependent). If value equals 1 (one), computes as CEQUAL-W2 way (wind, depth and Fetch dependent).

Water Waves WINDROSE_DIRECTIONS Number of wind directions for fetch calculation.
