The model was run for all North Atlantic TCs from 18512004. The TFWs for the 100-year period 1905-2004 were sorted into 2o x 2o latitude cells. For each cell, probability and cumulative frequency for significant wave height, wave period, hours of wave growth, and distance traveled during growth were determined. In addition, the frequency of TFW directions was analyzed.
In the Eastern Pacific the 19492003 period was modeled and a 50-year analysis from 19542003 performed.
A review of the modeling technique, post-processing procedures, and graphical user interfaces built to view individual TC TFWs and the cell analysis will be presented. Operational utility will be discussed.
