Wavy

Welcome to wavy!

Introduction

wavy is an open source package (under development) with the aim of easing the task of wave model validation. The user can either choose in-situ observation files or remote sensing files to extract time-series and/or collocate with wave model output.

Note

This project is under active development. I try to keep the documentation pristine. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you experience troubles, have questions, or would like to contribute.

Note

wavy just got updated with major changes also in the interfaces. If you need to use the former version (v.1.5.0) please use the branch wavy_v0.1.5.

If you are using wavy please mention the repo under https://github.com/bohlinger/wavy and for info from the documentation refer to this page https://wavyopen.readthedocs.io/. Additionally, the collocation methodology should be referred to with the following article:

A selection of published studies and other work that use wavy can be found under wavy put to use.
