Numerical wave model output for June 2023, co-located with SWOT and buoy data for the analysis of swells from storm "Fabrice"

This dataset includes 4 main files obtained from WAVEWATCH III run using a model set up described in Alday and Ardhuin (2023) as "T707-GQM", and many ancillary files describing details of the model set up and basic reading and analysis tools that combine model and buoy data. This model is unique in including quasi-exact 4-wave interactions and coastal and iceberg wave reflection, but uses a relatively coarse spectral resolution (24 directions and 36 frequencies).

With two different settings:

- REF102040 uses this set of namelist parameters:

 &SNL1 IQTYPE = -2, GQMNF1 = 11, GQMNT1 =  6, GQMNQ_OM2 =  6,
       TAILNL=-5.0, GQMTHRSAT=5E-5, GQMTHRCOU = 0.05, GQAMP1=1.,
       GQAMP2=0.0022, GQAMP3=2. /
 &SIN4 BETAMAX = 1.3, TAUWSHELTER = 0., SINTABLE = 0, TAUWBUG = 0 /
 &SDS4 SDSBCHOICE=3, SDSC2 = -2.5, SDSBR = 0.005, CUMSIGP =2.0,
       SDSSTRAIN =0., SDSSTRAIN2 = 0., FXFM3 = 20, SDSFACMTF = 400.,
       SDSMWD = 2., SDSCUM = 0.35, SDSNUW =0, SDSC5=0.5, SDSBRF1=0.5 /

&OUTS P2SF = 1, E3D = 1, I1P2SF = 1, I2P2SF = 36 /

      REFMAP = 0., REFSLOPE = 0., REFSUBGRID = 0.2, REFRMAX = 0.5 /
&SIC2 IC2DISPER = F, IC2TURB = 1.0 , IC2ROUGH = 0.001 ,
      IC2REYNOLDS = 150000, IC2SMOOTH  = 200000., IC2VISC = 2.0  /
&SIS2 ISC1 = 0.2, IS2C2 = 0.000000, IS2C3 = 0. , IS2BACKSCAT = 1. ,

&MISC ICEHINIT = 0.5, ICEHMIN = 0.1, CICE0 = 0.25, NOSW =6,

and  NOREF uses the same settings except for:

      REFMAP = 0., REFSLOPE = 0., REFSUBGRID = 0.0, REFRMAX = 0.5 /
