The GROW Fine South China Sea (GFSCS) hindcast is Oceanweather's comprehensive study of the South China Seas based on the SEAFINE-2 project.

GFSCS Operational is a 1-hourly continuous wind and wave hindcast spanning 1979 to 2023 archived at nearly 200,000 grid points. The tropical cyclone (typhoon) wind and wave hindcast is a subset of the continuous period, but the storms are archived at a finer time step of 15 minutes. Spectra is archived at 965 points.

The products of GFSCS include, for each site of interest, the actual simulated hindcast time series from both models (continuous/typhoons), wave spectra if available, and statistics. They can be purchased together or separately.
