The need for high-quality wind fields for ocean response models arises in hindcast studies of operational and extreme climate, in coastal and offshore structure design, and in forecasting for ocean platform operation and ships. Ocean response models such as the third generation (3G) wave model (WAM) and the Oceanweather’s 3G wave model have shown great skill in producing nearly perfect hindcasts of significant wave height and peak period in severe tropical and extratropical systems when driven by high quality wind fields. The Surface Wave Dynamics (SWADE) study special Intense Observational Period (IOP) of the October 1990 US East coast event put several wind fields using both objectively derived and handdrawn man-intensive wind fields through a common wave model (WAM 3G). The results show (Cardone et.al., 1995) that the suite of hindcasts produced by very sophisticated purely objective analysis schemes was clearly beaten by hand-drawn kinematic analysis (Figure 1). Unfortunately, this man-intensive, tediously produced analysis took approximately 100 manhours to produce a 10 day hindcast, which is a time frame clearly inapplicable to long term hindcast studies and forecasting applications.
