The impact of hurricanes in the offshore industry
often create an urgent need for block-specific metocean
information. Such information is critical for use
in investigations into damage and design reassessments
of the infrastructure within a tropical system's sphere
of influence. Therefore, Oceanweather offers fast-response
studies of Hurricanes with proven, high-level hindcast
methodology.
The purpose of these fast response hindcasts is to
develop a description of the evolution and distribution
of the surface wind field, sea state, and in some
cases, storm driven surge and current field, during
the approach and passage of a hurricane. The hindcasts
utilize all available public domain meteorological
and oceanographic measured data with Oceanweather's
most accurate cyclone wind, wave, and hydrodynamic
hindcast models.
The
hindcast expertise, experience and capabilities of
Oceanweather in tropical cyclone regimes are well
documented in open publications and results of previous
studies. Some of these publications can be found on
the Oceanweather website here.
