ArWen 3.0.1. The desktop stays ArWen Desktop 1.0.10, from the 2.9.0 release.

New

  • Opt-in ocean waves (--waves on) now also run on large lakes (5,000 km² or more). Depths come from ETOPO 2022 (the model's lake surface minus the lake bed); a lake starts calm and its waves grow from the forecast's own wind, so no outside wave model is needed. Checked on one case: a Lake Superior gale on 5 November 2026, ArWen at 12 km for 9 hours, wave height compared at three NDBC buoys. Lake ice is checked by a unit test only; lakes are not validated against a season of buoy observations, and nests carry no waves.

Fixed

  • gpuwm go --waves on from a pip install fetches the wave data bridge (rw_waves_data) from the release bundle on first use; it stopped with "rw_waves_data is required" unless gpuwm fetch-bridges had been run first.
  • The wave bathymetry download fetches a range again when the server ends it early; a single short range stopped the first --waves on run with "bathymetry acquisition incomplete".
