12-13
Wave direction number
14-15
Number of wave directions (ND)
16-17
Wave frequency number
18-19
Number of wave frequencies (NF)
20
Type of generating process (see Code table 4.3)
21
Background generating process identifier (defined by originating center)
22
Analysis or forecast generating process identifier (defined by originating center)
23-24
Hours of observational data cut-off after reference time (see Note 1)
25
Minutes of observational data cut-off after reference time
26
Indicator of unit of time range (see Code Table 4.4)
27-30
Forecast time in units defined by previous octet
31
Type of ensemble forecast (see Code Table 4.6)
32
Perturbation Number
33
Number of forecasts in ensemble
34
Type of wave direction sequence (see Code Table 4.251)
35
Number of wave direction sequence parameters (NDSP)

The next two entries are repeated NDSP times to encode the scale factors and scaled values of the sequence parameters.
36 + (NDSP-1)*5
Scaled factor of wave direction sequence parameter
37+(NDSP-1)*5 - 40+(NDSP-1)*5
Scaled value of wave direction sequence parameter (see Note 2)
36+NDSP*5
Type of wave frequency sequence (see Code Table 4.251)
37+NDSP*5
Number of wave frequency sequence parameters

The next two entries are repeated NFSP times to encode the scale factors and scaled values of the sequence parameters
38+NDSP*5+(NFSP-1)*5
Scale factor of wave frequency sequence parameter
39+NDSP*5+(NFSP-1)*5 -42+NDSP*5+(NFSP-1)*5 Scaled value of wave frequency sequence parameter (see Note 3)


Notes:

(1) Hours greater than 65534 will be coded as 65534.

(2) The units of the wave directions are degree true.

(3) The frequencies are defined as 1/T where T is the wave period in seconds.
