  skos:definition """The NORSWAM Project was undertaken in order to supplement the limited 
amount of measured wave data that was available in the northern North 
Sea on which to base design and certification criteria for offshore 
structures. The project was based on the development of a numerical 
model to generate wave fields from existing meteorological data. The 
model was ... developed jointly by the Max-Planck Institute fuer 
Meteorologie (Hamburg), the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences Deacon 
Laboratory (IOSDL) and the Department of Environment Hydraulics 
Research Station. The model was primarily run in hindcast mode so as 
to generate wave fields from the surface wind and pressure fields of 
past storm events. By selecting a representative sample of the worst 
storms over a number of years, the wave data generated by the model 
can be used to provide an estimate of the distribution of extreme 
waves over the same period. For this purpose a special data set of 
surface winds and pressure fields - the NORSWAM Input Data Set - was 
compiled by IOSDL and the UK Meteorological Office.
