Abstract
Abstract CSOWM is Environment Canada's operational wave model that is operated daily at the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC) in Montreal and is driven by surface winds generated by the regional weather prediction model of CMC. For the duration of the Grand Banks ERS‐] SAR wave spectra validation field experiment, two versions of CSOWM ‐ a first generation (IG) version and a third generation (3G) version ‐ were used in a hindcast mode to generate wave model products. In addition, two sets of wind fields, one obtainable from the CMC weather prediction model and the other obtained through a hand‐analysis of 3‐hourly surface pressure charts and an application of a marine planetary boundary‐layer model, were used to generate wave model products. The various wave model products were evaluated against wind and wave measurements made over the study site and also against available buoy data from the network of Canadian buoys on the Grand Banks and the Scotian Shelf regions of the Canadian Atlantic. The evaluat...
