The document describes the Quality of the Delayed Mode (REP) WAVES product delivered by the CMEMS INS TAC.

The following document applies to the following list of products described in CMEMS Catalogue

• Short Description: Global REP
• Product code: INSITU_GLO_WAV_REP_OBSERVATIONS_013_045
• Area: global
• Delivery Time: yearly

These products integrate observation aggregated and validated from the Regional EuroGOOS consortium (Arctic-ROOS, BOOS, NOOS, IBI-ROOS, MONGOOS) and Black Sea GOOS as well as from National Data Centers (NODCs) and JCOMM global systems (Argo, GOSUD, OceanSITES, GTSPP, DBCP) and the Global telecommunication system (GTS) used by the Met Offices.

Data are distributed on full level (no interpolation). They are available in a dedicated directory to waves (INSITU_GLO_WAV_REP_OBSERVATIONS_013_045) of GLOBAL Distribution Unit in one file per platform. This directory is updated once a year.

Four of the INSTAC regions (BAL, NWS, IBI and MED) are performing their own wave validation over the data contained in their respective files (“BO_”, “NO_”, “IR_” and “MO_”). These REP files are distributed also in the corresponding REP regional directories. The GLOBAL Distribution Unit gets these files together with the validated  “GL_” files and distributes the final WAVES product in the GLOBAL dedicated directory mentioned above.
