AbstractThis study analyzes QuikSCAT surface wind data over the North Pacific Ocean to document the distribution of captured fetches in extratropical cyclones that produced hurricane force (HF) wind fields from January 2003 through May 2008. A case study is presented to introduce the datasets, which include surface wind analyses from the Global Forecast System (GFS) Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS), and wave hindcasts from the third-generation wave model (WAVEWATCH III; hereafter, WW3), in addition to the QuikSCAT surface wind data. The analysis shows significant interannual variability in the location of the captured fetches as documented by QuikSCAT, including a shift in the distribution of captured fetches associated with ENSO. GDAS surface winds over the ocean are consistently underanalyzed when compared to QuikSCAT surface winds, despite the fact that satellite observations of ocean surface winds are assimilated. When the WW3 hindcasts associated with HF cyclones are compared with buoy observat...
