Abstract
The sea state associated with the developing Queen Elizabeth Storm II (1200 UT 9 Sep 78 to 0000 UT 11 Sep 78) is hindcast with a fine resolution spectral wave model. The surface winds are provided by a limited area, fine resolution (100 km) numerical weather prediction model. Forecasts from initial conditions which included and excluded SEASAT scatterometer surface winds were performed. Surface wave height hindcasts were made utilizing surface winds provided by the atmospheric models. When the SEASAT winds are allow to influence the upper levels, a larger positive impact is found.
