Abstract
During the last years the European Centre for Medium-
Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) released new
editions of the wave model WAM. The latest model
version has been evaluated on both wave height and
spectrum in close and shallow seas as well as in open
oceans. The purpose of this work is twofold: First to
discuss some evaluation results concerning the model
performance and secondly to study the sea state
characteristics in North Atlantic Ocean in a case of
extreme wind and wave conditions by means both of
satellite measurements and WAM forecasts.
