GROW2012 couples Oceanweather's proven global wave model, tropical boundary layer model, and its vast experience in developing marine surface wind fields to produce a revolutionary global wave hindcast.

The result is a first-of-its-kind long term analysis of the global wave climate which can be used for initial estimates of extremes and operability for offshore structure design, tow-analysis, and other applications where wind and wave data are required.

• Time series of wind and wave parameters (including sea/swell partitions) in ASCII or OSMOSIS format
• Return period extremes for wind speed, wave height (significant, maximum and crest) and wave period
• Operability statistics expressed as frequency-of-occurence tables and persistence/duration statistics
• Directional wave spectra
