and optionally also distributed between the corner points of the <strong>SWAN</strong> nested grid (the<br />

boundary of the WAVEWATCH <strong>III</strong> nested grid need not be closed and may cover land).<br />

The locations should be output by WAVEWATCH <strong>III</strong> in sequence (going along the nest<br />

boundary, clockwise or counterclockwise). Note that <strong>SWAN</strong> will accept output of a WAVE-<br />

WATCH <strong>III</strong> output location only if the <strong>SWAN</strong> grid point on the nest boundary lies within a<br />

rectangle between two consecutive WAVEWATCH <strong>III</strong> output locations with a width equal<br />

to 0.1 times the distance between these output locations on either side of the line between<br />

these WAVEWATCH <strong>III</strong> output locations.<br />

This BOUNDNEST command is not available for 1D computations.<br />

A nested <strong>SWAN</strong> run may use either Cartesian or spherical coordinates. A curvi-linear<br />

grid may be used in the nested grid but the boundaries of this nest should conform to the<br />

rectangular course grid nest boundaries.<br />

the name of the file that contains the spectra computed by WAVEWATCH <strong>III</strong>.<br />

the boundary condition represented in the file is defined on a closed rectangle.<br />

the curve on which the boundary condition is given, is not closed.<br />

if <strong>SWAN</strong> is used with Cartesian coordinates:<br />

longitude of south-west corner of <strong>SWAN</strong> computational grid (in degrees); if the<br />

south-west corner of the nest in the WAM computation is on land this value is<br />

required.<br />

If <strong>SWAN</strong> is used with spherical coordinates then [xgc] is ignored by <strong>SWAN</strong>.<br />

Default: the location of the first spectrum encountered in the nest file.<br />

if <strong>SWAN</strong> is used with Cartesian coordinates:<br />

longitude of south-west corner of <strong>SWAN</strong> computational grid (in degrees); if the<br />

south-west corner of the nest in the WAM computation is on land this value is<br />

required.<br />

If <strong>SWAN</strong> is used with spherical coordinates then [ygc] is ignored by <strong>SWAN</strong>.<br />

Default: the location of the first spectrum encountered in the nest file.<br />

Note that [xgc] and [ygc] are ignored if <strong>SWAN</strong> is used with spherical coordinates; if<br />

<strong>SWAN</strong> is used with Cartesian coordinates the values must be provided by the user.<br />
