Evaluations of Global Wind Prediction at Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center: from the Perspective of a Wave Modeler

Abstract

This study describes the validation of winds fields used in a companion study ("Evaluation of global wave prediction at Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center," submitted for review). During this validation, it is found that conventional methods of estimating the distribution of bias across wind speeds can produce widely misleading conclusions. This is demonstrated, and a simple solution (histogram comparisons without geographic interpolation) is presented.
