Report on the calibration and validation of hindcasts and forecasts of TWL

This report stems from Task 43 based on products delivered in Tasks 41 and 42 In Task 41 various CMEMS products will be combined to estimate forecasts of total water levels TWL along European coasts including over recent past periods In Task 42 a hindcast of TWL will be produced using a less computing demanding model the ANYEUSSL model This model will be calibrated with various observations and CMEMS past and archived CMEMS forecast over a common period The calibration and validation will be performed over the whole computational domain using satellite altimetry as well as along the European coastline based on tidal and wave stations but also on the specific coastal altimetry datasets The calibration and validation report will include a specific section comparing the observed and modelled extreme total water levels observed along the European coastline
