This study developed new and definitive estimates of the extreme wave climate in the Canadian Beaufort Sea, with emphasis on offshore exploration areas in deep and shallow water. The hindcast approach used included assembly of a comprehensive data base of archived meteorological, wave, and ice cover data; identification and ranking of historical storm occurrences during the potential open-water season, over as long a period as allowed by the data and selection of a top-ranked severe wave generating storm population (30 storms); adaptation and validation of accurate numerical hindcasting procedures to specify time histories of surface wind fields, wave fields, and directional spectra in each hindcast storm; hindcast production of the selected storms; and statistical analysis of hindcast extremes at a selected number of model grid points. The ODGP spectral ocean wave model, as adapted recently to shallow water and a variable ice edge, was used for the wave hindcasts. Wind fields were calculated from the sea surface pressure fields using a proven marine planetary boundary layer model.
