Oceanweather functions as a specialized consulting firm serving the coastal and ocean
engineering communities with its unique capacity to integrate several areas of expertise
into specification of definitive design data on the physical environment. Oceanweather's
approach is to consistently develop and apply its high-level technology to satisfy
practical requirements in the areas of marine meteorology, ocean wave and current
specification, ocean engineering, and statistics of environmental data. In the past
quarter century Oceanweather has performed dedicated hindcast studies and Joint Industry
Projects (JIPs) in virtually every ocean basin in the world. Since 1983, Oceanweather
has operated a real time forecasting division following a unique approach which optimally
combines the traditional approach to weather forecasting, which retains the contributions
of individual forecasters, and Oceanweather's high-level technology developed and
applied so successfully in its hindcasting and consulting divisions. The system includes
a global wind and wave forecast system and various high resolution regional applications.
