Oceanweather Inc. is a specialized metocean consulting firm serving
the coastal and ocean engineering communities since 1977. Our approach is to
develop and apply high-level technology to satisfy practical requirements
in marine meteorology, ocean wave and current specification, ocean
engineering, and statistics of environmental data. Our
services include atmospheric/oceanographic research, site-specific consulting/modeling,
operational forecasting, and generation of long-term climatologies for operability
and design in the marine environment.
Oceanweather (OWI) have recently completed short-term hindcast reanalyses of hurricanes Helene and Milton, from which data products are now available. OWI routinely produces “fast-response” tropical cyclone hindcasts for significant storms in order to support hurricane recovery activities and to improve future resiliency. Detailed reanalysis of the conditions experienced in a strong offshore and/or land-falling hurricane are essential for accurate ocean response modeling designed provide critical guidance on the extent of the storm wave and surge inundation. Wind, pressure, and/or OWI’s standard bulk wave parameter fields or timeseries for these events are available.

In order to support hurricane recovery activities and to improve future resiliency, Oceanweather (OWI) routinely produces “fast-response” tropical cyclone hindcasts for significant storms and has started work on recent 2024 hurricane Beryl. A detailed reanalysis of the conditions experienced in a land-falling hurricane are required in any ocean response modeling to provide critical guidance on the extent of the storm wave and surge inundation. OWI can provide wind, pressure, and/or OWI’s standard wave fields for these events.
As experts in providing meteorological forcing for ocean response modeling of extreme wind, wave and storm surge events, OWI has a long history of quickly responding to the need for hindcasts of recent or active tropical events. This expertise is also applied in long-term operational and storm hindcasts in public and private sectors around the globe.
