VVV<br />

for each quantity<br />

• name of the quantity<br />

• unit of the quantity<br />

• exception value of the quantity, i.e. the value that is written<br />

instead of a computed value if that is undefined<br />

Note for 1D spectra:<br />

the number of quantities is always 3, and the quantities are always: energy<br />

(or variance) density, average direction (CDIR for Cartesian direction or<br />

NDIR for nautical direction) and directional spreading (DSPR in terms of<br />

DEGREES (<strong>SWAN</strong> write the keyword DSPRDEGR, <strong>SWAN</strong> reads the keyword<br />

DSPRD or DEGR in case of option DEGREES or the keywords DSPRP or POWER<br />

in case of option POWER in command BOUND SHAPE). The quantities appear<br />

in the order in which they appear in this description.<br />

Note for 2D spectra:<br />

the number of quantities is always 1; the quantity is always energy or<br />

variance density (EnDens is the (short) name of true energy densities,<br />

VaDens for variance densities).<br />

the group with the tables of the quantities:<br />

• date and time (not present for stationary computation)<br />

for each location:<br />

if 2D spectrum:<br />

• the keyword FACTOR. This keyword is replaced by the keyword ZERO<br />

if the spectrum is identical 0 or it is replaced by NODATA if the<br />

spectrum is undefined (not computed e.g., on land; no numbers follow)<br />

• the factor to multiply the values in the following table<br />

• scaled energy/variance densities (truncated by <strong>SWAN</strong> to integer values<br />

for compact writing; <strong>SWAN</strong> accepts these values as reals when reading<br />

this file; other programs (e.g. for postprocessing) should also accept these<br />

values as reals; the values should be multiplied by the factor to get the<br />

proper values of the densities).<br />

else, if 1D spectrum:<br />

• the keyword LOCATION followed by the index of the location (on the<br />

same line). This is replaced by the keyword NODATA if the spectrum is<br />

undefined (not computed e.g. on land; no numbers follow).<br />

• a table containing three columns: the 3 quantities per frequency:<br />

energy (or variance) density, average direction (CDIR for Cartesian<br />

direction and NDIR for nautical direction) and directional spreading<br />

(DSPR in terms of DEGREES (writing or reading the file) or POWER<br />

(only reading the file), see note for 1D spectra above); the quantities<br />

appear in the order in which they appear in this description.<br />

For nonstationary computations repeat from VVV.
