In order to study the impact of southern ocean swells, the model has been run in two different domains.The model simulated wave parameters have been validated by comparing with buoy and altimeter data and various statistical yardsticks have been employed to quantify the validation. Possible reason for the poorer performance of the model in the Arabian Sea has also been pointed out.1. IntroductionOcean wave hindcast and forecast are of paramount importance for the management of offshore structure construction, ship navigation, and naval operations. In-situ observations are location-specific and generally sparse. In the Indian Ocean the situation is worse, compared to the Atlantic and Pacific, because long time series data of in-situ observations are mostly unavailable. On the other hand, it is simply impossible to estimate the wave climate and extreme sea state without such a long time series. Hence, in recent years, the attention is shifted to the use of numerical wave model generated wave data for the assessment of wave climate. Sverdrup and Munk (1947) were the first to develop operational wave prediction technique. The technique was purely statistical and was based on just one parameter, viz., the significant wave height.
